[GOPisEvil]

4. Eddie Bernice Johnson?

Really? Interesting...very interesting...

[crispini]

5. Give that man a gold star!

Wouldn't THAT be interesting, eh? Just scuttlebutt, of course...

[GOPisEvil]

6. Hey - congratulations on Keith wearing your tie!

That's freaking awesome!

[crispini]

7. LOL. News gets around, eh?

The man simply rocks. Made everyone in the Tie Conspiracy thrilled beyond belief.

[GOPisEvil]

14. I saw your notice in ATA.

I've been a fan of Keith since his ESPN days.

[crispini]

15. The Tie Saga provided *loads* of entertainment for us.

And how decent of Keith is that to wear it? He must be an amazingly cool person.

[GOPisEvil]

16. Definitely.

I love a smart-ass, and Keith definitely is a smart-ass.

[johncoby2]

8. OK. I give up. Who is EBJ?

And what does he or she do? And why is this interesting?

[CitySky]

10. don't feel bad, john

I don't even know who Keith is.

(is there an icon for "little smiley scratching her head?")

[crispini]

13. LOL, sorry.

I like to tease.

"Keith" is Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. The abbreviated version of the story is here:

9. Here's a link to her BIO

http://www.house.gov/ebjohnson/about_ebj/index.shtml

A black, female governor of Texas?

She certainly seems qualified. Any Texans out there know what would be her state wide chances?

[CitySky]

11. thanks for the link

Now there's a gentlewoman!

[sonias]

12. I'd say hell yes to E B-J

Why the hell not. Great Congresswoman.

Oh by the way the rumor mill also has Chris Bell running.

17. love that chris bell rumor!

[flaminbats]

23. What!?!

no Charlie Stenholm rumors???

[Horse with no Name]

19. Awesome

I worked in Dallas for many years in the major hospitals there.
She was a nurse and just kicking back and forth to other colleagues--they liked that about her.
I think her potential as a candidate is shrewd.
What do we need to do?

[crispini]

20. oooo, I don't know.

call her office and encourage her?

[tx_dem41]

21. I love her...but ...not ....a....chance...in .....hell.

n/t

[Lithos]

22. Don't think she's well known enough

And does not have access to the money pool necessary to fight a long race.

However, I do know she would be a damn sight better than the fake hair crowd we have now. I've heard a lot of good things about her.

L-
