August 12, 2003Democratic Gov. Carole Keeton Strayhorn?By Byron LaMastersNo way. But a source of Dave McNeely thinks that it might be a possibility:
There's several reasons that this won't happen. For one, Strayhorn's Republican roots are deep. She ran for Congress back in the 1980s as a Republican (against Jake Pickle) when there were no Republicans in Austin. Zero. Her son, Scott McClellan is Bush's new spokesman. Dallas Democratic activist and Platform Committee member Tom Blackwell gives his own reasons why Strayhorn would not run as a Democrat.
Still, one has to wonder how big of a problem that would be for Strayhorn, when last year Democrats gave Tony Sanchez our nomination for governor when he had been a Bush pioneer in 2000, and even gave money to the GOP Florida recount fund. Sadly, he was our best choice. The other viable candidate in the primary is now in prison. Will Strayhorn be our best choice in 2006? Nah. Her GOP roots are too deep. I do expect her to challenge Perry, if Perry runs again. If Sen. Hutchison runs for Governor, I'd expect her to challenge Dewhurst for Lt. Gov.... as a Republican.

That would be strange, Strayhorn switching back to the Democratic party, the party she left almost 20 years ago. It wouldn't surprise me if she thought about it. I have enjoyed watching that "one tough grandma," be a thorn on the side of the Perry/Dewhurst/Craddick triumvirate during the past lege. But I can't forgive her for her role on the LRB in 2001. She will either be a candidate for Gov or Lt. Gov, depending on what KBH does. Posted by: pc at August 12, 2003 02:41 PMI don't know; I wouldn't be surprised. Actually, I would welcome Mrs. Strayhorn into our party. She's probably been the best of that whole bad bunch so far this year. I don't think Carole Strayhorn will abandon the party and people that have gotten her this far. Perry won't be re-elected, there's no reason for her to switch. Even against Dewhurst, it's her game to lose. Posted by: Texas GOP at October 14, 2003 01:57 PMI just received an invitation to a fundraiser for Pete Gallego. Listed on the invitation are special guests Carole Keeton Strayhorn and Frank Madla. Now, why would Strayhorn be attending a fundraiser for a Democrat, I wonder? Posted by: Tom L at November 3, 2003 03:53 PMdoes anybody down there tex way... never mind about that query... I have been a Republican voter and precinct chairman for over twenty years and would be happy to see Carole Keeton Strayhorn return to the Democrat Party and I will personally support anyone who runs against her in the future whether they be Republican or Democrat. Some of her ideas would take us back to the dark days of prohibition. Posted by: jay3c at April 21, 2004 08:11 PM
