AUSTIN, Texas: Would you vote for Governor Grandma? Carole Keeton Strayhorn hopes so.
She's an independent candidate for governor in Texas.
She wants to be listed on the ballot as Carole Keeton "Grandma" Strayhorn. She has used the slogan "One Tough Grandma."
But some of her opponents are against the "Grandma" listing.
Singer-author Kinky Friedman is also running as an independent. But he says he's been Kinky for years, so his nickname qualifies.
State law allows for nicknames on the ballot, as long as the candidate has used the name for at least three years.
