McClellan gets no respect

Scotty's mother quits the GOP

This is an interesting story out of Texas. Scott McClellan's mother quit the Republican Party to run for Governor of Texas as an independent:

Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn turned her back on the Republican Party and announced Monday she will run for governor as an independent.

The move allows Strayhorn to escape a potentially ugly primary battle against Gov. Rick Perry. The GOP primary is set for March 7.

Strayhorn, who calls herself "One Tough Grandma," has been a harsh critic of Perry's leadership over the past couple of years. Monday's announcement all but guarantees Perry will be the Republican candidate on the November ballot.

Never a dull moment in Texas politics.
