The Austin Chronicle: News: Grandma vs. Cowboy: "Resplendent in a navy blue windbreaker, dark slacks, and sensible shoes, state Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn finally and officially opened her campaign against Gov. Rick ('Drugstore Cowboy') Perry last Saturday, armed with a well-worn cache of one-liners and more ominously with her incumbent opponent's ongoing record of failure on school finance reform. Get used to her opening salvo, for you'll certainly hear it again: 'I am not a weak leadin', ethics ignorin', pointin' the finger at everyone blamin', special session callin', public school slashin', slush fund spendin', toll road buildin', special interest panderin', rainy day fund raidin', fee increasin', no property tax cuttin', promise breakin', do-nothin' Rick Perry phony conservative.'"
