In what had to be the dumbest endorsement this cycle, TSTA, the state's largest teachers union, endorsed Carole granny Strayhorn for governor. Strayhorn is known to us as a pure opportunist, a shill for whatever special interest puts up the meoney to fund her self-serving, unprincipled career. I know because I've followed her career since her first run for mayor of Austin, when she had only one last name, and was the willing tool of the downtown business interests, against the Progressives of the day. This cycle, the "old girls netrwork" at TSTA took her bait. And lost us the governorship.
