Democrats watch too much Jerry Springer.  Anyway, to the issue, good question.  I'm proud to be an "extremist."

Democrat Brad Henry is currently the governor.  We do have an election tomorrow.  It's between him and Rep. Istook.  Hopefully, Brad Henry will be reelected.

I think he has a good chance, but it depends on how many Texans are willing to take that chance. But yes, by now everyone's sick of politicians making promises and not keeping them, they would be more apt to trust someone that just seems more honest. He seems like he means what he says.

Damn why are people being mean to you Fire_Side?  thats not cool.  But anyways, the answer to your question is probably one of the easiest yet.  Candidate D (write-in) Mr. Bill Cower ofcourse! ; )

No way I think Derek said it best when he hosted SNL, in the skit he was playing Alfonso Soriano's wife and sitting in the Yankee's wives section.  He was asked "what do you think of that Derek Jeter?" to which he replied "He looks like the Rock had sex with a muppet."

I was too because I voted for him, but the people of Texas have been so brainwashed by the Republican conservatives and the Republican machine, that they decided they like the Bush clone, Perry and want him to continue.  Yuck!  Last time I checked the Kinkster was last and down around 11%.  At least I got a nice T-Shirt I can wear in years to come.  Just wish we were going to have a Governor Kinky.

Now that he is on the ballot, things are looking good for him.\n\nThe Republican vote is going to be split between Perry seeking reelection and Strayhorn running as a Republican-turned-independent, the Republican vote will be split.\n\nThe State of Texas is predominantly conservative, so liberals such as Democrats and Libertarians (sp) don't have much of a chance. \n\nWith the right-wing vote being split, and liberals not getting much as far as votes, that leaves the door wide open for Kinky to come out of this as a winner. People are tired and weary of 'business as ususal' in Texas politics and he stands a real chance. Kinky helped run the campaign to elect Jesse Ventura in Minnesota, so he has experience running for office in a sense.\n\nI signed the petition to have him on the ballot. I feel that he would be far more beneficial to the state than another conservative or a left wing liberal.\n\nYes, Kinky has a chance. Vote for him. Why the hell not?

You can find it on You Tube - the link is below. He also made an apology on the David Letterman show which was almost equally bizzarre! Check that one out, too. \n\nI am not giving the guy an excuse, but he hasn't done anything successful since Seinfeld, and that ended several years ago. Perhaps this was more about depression over his career that got manifested and came out this way. He was just venting, I think. Unfortunately, he took it out on some black hecklers in the audience. One of them even remarked that his career was over, a wash-up after Seinfeld. And that probably sent him further into a rage!

Yes, just look at NJ's former governor Jim Mcgreevey. He did a fine job and then there was some uproar after he came out of the closet with a homosexual extra-marital affair. He then announced his resignation afterwards, but nevertheless, he did a fine job.

I look forward to seeing you on the Jerry Springer show.

Mrs. Strayhorn is the Comptroller for the State of Texas and has done a very fine job in that position.  She has cited our present governor for many defiencys that he has side stepped or out of complete ignorance made.  I understand Mrs. Strayhorn will be on the ballot in the next Governors race for the state of Texas and if she is I would bet that she defeats Governor Perry by a landslide. She was raised in a prominent political family and is educated to hold such a position and on the other hand Gov. Perry is best known for his performance on stage as he danced for Clay Walker at the inauguration.  My bet is he will make a lot better dancer than a governor.  Mrs. Strayhorn at least has the morals and stamina to step out when there is a problem.  More research I am sure can be found about Mrs. Strayhorn if you so desire.
