Is McClellan on our team or not? It seems like his mother isn't.

[OldFriend]

Ari Fleischer's mom is also a dem.

The Quorum Report says today that TX comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn will run for governor as an independent.

Translation: Still a Dem, but now under an alias.

[Ditter]

Kinky is even more disturbing than Strayhorn. He used to be a singer but his voice is gone, his writing ability is so-so, his looks are gone (he never really had any) so he can't find a rich woman to marry. All he can think of is to run for Gov. Can't someone give this creep a job so he will drop out of the race?

[wolfcreek]

She had better run as an 'I' because no one would believe she a 'R'. Except 'RINO's

[WhiteGuy]

Our team?

If your mean "freedom loving taxpayers"..................

I'd guess the answer is no?

[Democratshavenobrains]

I wish Bush would just fire McClellan. I don't care if he donated money or whatever to Bush's campaign. The guy has no media skills. Michael Brown would do a better job.

Our question: can they legally work together? Can one person legally sign a petition for both Friedman and Strayhorn?

Texas Election Code answers this question...

§ 141.066. SIGNING MORE THAN ONE PETITION PROHIBITED. (a) A person may not sign the petition of more than one candidate for the same office in the same election.
(b) The following statement must appear at the top of each page of a petition: "Signing the petition of more than one candidate for the same office in the same election is prohibited."
(c) A signature on a candidate's petition is invalid if the signer signed the petition subsequent to signing a petition of another candidate for the same office in the same election.
Acts 1985, 69th Leg., ch. 211, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1986. Amended by Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 864, § 94, eff. Sept. 1, 1997.

Those "One tough gramma" commercials are turning many voter off. She sounds like a whining baby.

[Willie Green]

the requirements for ballot access are expensive and onerous for independents in TX.

"Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy."

I'm sure there are severeal FReepers with family members who are dems. That's a silly question.

[JFC]

Strayhorn is not going to WIN under any party... imho.

I don't trust her or like her.

My vote will go to Perry.

[Katya]

I actually think Mclellan is a terrible press sec....I miss Ari's ability to circumvent the press intelligibly. That said, I don' t think it matters "what" party their mothers belong to. My mothers a whack job liberal too....I can relate.
