Incompetence. Guess it runs in the family...

Error on Texas Governor Hopeful's Form OK Thu Jan 12, 2:50 PM ET



AUSTIN, Texas - Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn's misspelled name on a campaign form won't affect her gubernatorial bid, the secretary of state's office said Thursday.

Strayhorn's lawyer said he spelled her name without the 'y' twice on her declaration of intent to run for governor, filed Jan. 2. State officials reviewed the error after discovering it Wednesday but concluded the form was valid.

Strayhorn is a Republican-turned-independent whose son, Scott McClellan, is President Bush's press secretary. To appear on the November ballot, she must collect 45,540 signatures between March 8 and May 11 from people who do not cast a ballot in any party's primary election or runoff.

4. She's a blowhard and a buffoon, but I wish her well

She hates Perry, and for that, I can't say that I hate her.

Perry will have three general election candidates hacking away at him this fall. It should be fun.
