“The Republicrat” On Strayhorn & Radnofsky

One of the best ways to find out what the heck the opposition is up to and thinking is to subscribe to their newsletters. In my inbox this morning was the latest newsletter from the South Texas Republicans PAC, which was packed with lots of insider goodies including an anonomous column by someone calling themselves “The Republicrat,” claiming to be a “moderate” Republican.

Since the nameless columnist addressed the U.S. Senate Race, I thought it might be worthy of some commentary. Here’s what they had to say (I left the newsletter author’s disclaimer to the column intact:

Just a week away and the Primary runoff will determine whether or not attorney and veteran’s advocate Barbara Radnofsky will gain the Democratic nomination for Senator against the ever popular Kay Bailey Hutchison.

If Barbara Radnofsky can’t beat a dead dancer, how the heck is she going to take out Kay Bailey Hutchison?

First of all, they are clearly underestimating Barbara’s campaign. On the bright side, they didn’t refer to her (as the GOP does with most attorneys) as a “trial lawyer.” Read on:

So how is it possible that the Texas State Teacher’s Association (TSTA) has endorsed now Independent candidate for Governor, Carol Strayhorn, before she has procured a place on the ballot in November? Are teachers (Republican & Democrat) working to get her on the ballot? Considering she was a Democrat before she became Republican and then Independent, the answer might surprise you. Can you say, “Republicrat?”

I, for one, would like to know the answer to this one, too. Why endorse someone that’s not yet officially on the ballot. If she doesn’t make it, their credibility will take a major hit with many. If she does make it on the ballot, what if they decide against endorsing her later on because she shifts back to the right or just continues to go back-and-forth like the runaway teter-totter that she is?
