Jennifer Gale for Governor?
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
For those of you familiar with Austin politics, I'm sure you are already rolling your eyes at this point. But in the stragest of places tonight (meaning Kinky Friedman's blog), there is rumor that Gale will make her 18th(?) bid for public office, by running for Governor as a Democrat.
A Jennifer Gale of Austin does plan to run, but I believe in may be on the Democratic ticket.
Watch out Chris Bell, looks like you might be defeated in a few key precincts in Austin, Texas. Gale most recently ran for Austin City Council, gaining 9% of the Place 4 vote. You have to admire her for trying, even if she "don't get no satisfaction".
UpdateThe comments tell us of a News 8 Austin story that says she's trying to get on as an Independent. Ok, that will be a fun race to 45,000+ signatures to watch.

sorry -- last paragraph of the strayhorn story:
Right now, only two Texans have publicly announced plans to run for governor, both independents. Author Kinky Friedman and Austinite Jennifer Gale will both need to collect about 50,000 signatures from registered voters next spring to get on the ballot.
