An Indie State of Mind in the RGV

I'll turn my attention now to the statewide issue of the Governor's race. First and foremost, I will not be voting for Rick Perry. He's a Republican, and I am not. I'm also not a Democrat. And so, I'm faced with a personal dilemma this election year. Do I vote Independent? I'm not too enthusiastic about seeing a Dem run this state, but I'm not sure what ol' Kinky or "Gramma" can bring to the table. Kinky brings a certain ideaology on how things should run in this state, and for the most part I agree with most of his assessments. But like most ideaologists, I'm wary of the fact that he might not have a direct plan of action. He's a freewheeler, and because of this I think he might be too stubborn in his convictions to nudge in the direction of what's best for the State Of Texas. Strayhorn on the other hand, has had experience in Austin as the State Comptroller. She knows how to handle the big boys when they get too rowdy. BUT, she was a Dem before she was GOP, and that wavering is something that's got me questioning her true allegiance. Hell, maybe she pledges allegiance to no flag, but that makes her the same freewheeling spirit Kinky is. Jesus, it's not easy being an educated voter this voting season. If any of you have any comments or suggestions, just post a comment below. I'll promise to respond to each one. Damn, it's Monday, and too early in the week to be wrecking my brain over this. Where's a good masseuse when you need one?
