The Julia Ideson Preservation Partners was created at the request...

">testified yesterday that Yates said she planned the deaths and knew they were wrong.

Strayhorn is asking to appear on the ballot as Carole Keeton "Grandma" Strayhorn, reflecting that she's campaigned as "One Tough Grandma" since 1998. It seems all her name changes — she started her political career as Carole McClellan, became railroad commissioner and state comptroller as Carole Keeton Rylander and has since remarried and become Strayhorn — have confused voters, but everyone knows who "Grandma" is:

Musician thriller writer humorist politician (?) Kinky Friedman made his bid for governor official yesterday, filing a declaration of intent to run as an independent candidate in 2006 and promising to put "a chill up the spine of every politician."
