There are major splits within the race along ideological lines according to the poll results. Perry is at 42% with conservatives, and Medina is now outpolling Hutchison with conservatives by a 25-23 margin.

Isn’t Medina a RonPaulian?
Are they polling Brazilians?
He said 'pubic'.
You might want to recheck your spelling in the title
Yes. She is putting on a very different face now than she has had in the past. Just a few months ago she was scolding KBH for voting against Sotomayor and she said that the GOP taking a hard line on immigration would 'harm their image with the Latino community'.
Isn’t all politics about screwing the public? That’s what pubic means.
I think the best pubic policy is to keep it between one’s spouse and oneself.
Uh oh. Looks like Medina is a stealth RINO then?
Sheesh, looks like it's Perry by default, then.
Did she really say that? Because I read a statement from her that someone claimed was the one I think you’re talking about and it didn’t say that.
Do you have a link to her scolding KBH for voting against Sotomayor?
See 11
Very much so, yes.
And she has no executive experience.
Ethnic pandering is an ugly thing.
Can you guys do me a favor and show me where she is ‘scolding KBH’ for her vote on Sotomayor in this statement:

Is there another one that I’m missing, because I don’t read that there at all. She mentions George Lopez’s rant on it, but doesn’t say in any way that the answer is to vote for Sotomayor or that KBH was wrong in doing so. She even calls both KBH and Perry squishes on border security and illegal immigration in the same damn paragraph.
It sounds to me like she’s scolding the GOP for not explaining themselves to latinos.
Is there another statement somewhere that sheds more light on this?
There was also a Lubbock Paper article way back early last year (summer?) where she was asked about it and she was praising the ‘diversity’ on the court. Trying to find a copy of that.
In the quote in 15, the Lopez rant she was referring to was a rant against KBH, she was basically agreeing with Lopez and cared more about the image the GOP portrayed by that vote than the substance.
That paragraph doesn’t contain anything that scolds KBH for her vote. George Lopez scolded her, not Debra Medina.
She even calls both Perry and KBH ‘sideways and indecisive’ on border security and immigration in the same paragraph.
Would it not make more sense to say that she was merely pointing out that the GOP message of WHY they are voting against Sotomayor isn’t getting to latinos?
I don’t like identity politics, but if large numbers of latinos incorrectly think that way about GOP motives, then perhaps there should be someone setting them straight, no?
