It would have been much better to have just answered “No.” rather than having tried to spare the feelings of the 47 or so truthers who might support her. She also needs to learn how to LISTEN to questions and not talk over interviewers.

She needs to go to interview school.

Blew the opportunity with Beck, and rightly or wrongly it will probably preclude her from getting into a runoff.

I think this is always the danger of normal people getting into politics. We say we want everyday people in there, but we really don’t, because every day people say (and even think) some pretty dumb things. So do politicians, but they are better at avoiding it.

Maybe she was bending overboard trying to be truthful without appearing to be an extremist. She may have a few “questions” about government involvement or negligence re. 9-11 and hasn’t really researched the matter very much. She is, as she stated, running for a state position, not federal, so does 9-11 conspiracy theory really make that much difference in her case?

If she really feels some sympathy for trutherism she might have said something like “there are still some people who question whether the Roosevelt administration had advance knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack and questioning things is not un-American” but instead she turned into a motor mouth trying to make excuses fr herself.

She’s not a smoothie, that’s for sure, but who wants that type of politician anymore? She may have some kookie ideas but she believes in conservative government and seems to dislike lying, so I have a hard time condemning the lady for what she said to Beck.

Beck, BTW, keeps saying that he was not going to endorse candidates but he sure did his best to end Ms. Medina’s chances. Plus he talked down Kay Bailey Hutchinson (”not impressed”) and built up Rick Perry.
