Reply #66: Yes, the great Frances Tarlton Farenthold.

She ran for governor in '72. I wasn't old enough to vote. I pushed cards for her at the polls. At the Democratic Convention she got the second highest number of votes for the Presidential nomination; therefore she SHOULD have been nominated for Vice President, but she wasn't, of course.

Her grandfather was John Tarleton, whom Tarleton State College was named after. Sissy should have run on her maiden name. She probably could have been elected had she run under her maiden name.

Her name is Farenthold because she married a rich Belgian guy.
