Carole's rants are entertaining, and they have sometimes been useful to the left (the enemy of my enemy, etc.), but there's no way she'd make a passable Democratic candidate for governor. If a Blue Dog is all we can get, it'll still be a whole lot better that someone who doesn't know who she really is.

It was Mark Sanders (Strayhorn's PR/hatchetman) that started the Perry rumors. He hated Perry so much that he worked for Tony Sanchez.

Strayhorn will be 67 in 2006. She can't beat Perry or KBH in the Primary and she can't switch parties and expect to be nominated - much less win - as a Democrat. She has krapped on too many Democrats over the years, so she'd have no credibility.

I think Strayhorn is simply trying to take Perry down, sort of the "If I can't have it then you can't have it either" mentaility.

I hear that she's packing the pounds back on too.
