I won’t be holding my breath for a reply, but I sent an email to the Carole Keeton Strayhorn campaign asking for information on her platform.  So far, I haven’t heard any concrete information about what she thinks, just the usual stuff about “putting aside partisan politics.”  That sort of talk can usually be interpreted as “get out of my way, you dunce, so we can do it my way.”  Her assurances that she’s a conservative also make me suspicious.  If she was truly conservative, people would know it from her positions. 

The fact that she was endorsed by the Texas State Teachers Association doesn’t help her with me.  The TSTA has ALWAYS endorsed Democrat party candidates in the past.  Their support for Strayhorn just reinforces the impression I get that she’s really a Democrat party candidate in disguise. 

I guess we’ll see.  If she ever makes a substantive statement about her positions, that is.
