governor? not so much. but she is an early front-runner for the cover of texas monthly's year-end "bum steer awards" issue

Say what you like about Chris Bell, the man's not afraid to go out on a limb. In perhaps the boldest statement yet made in the gubernatorial campaign, Bell stated that Carole Keeton R’ander Strayhorn McInerney Shaw had reached the "high-water mark for absurdity in Texas politics" with her request that she be placed on the ballot under the appellation “Grandma”. Oh, my. That’s saying a lot.

How many names does one person need?

It doesn’t matter. Carole Whatever won’t fool me. My grandma’s in Nebraska—and she would’ve run as a Democrat.
