Perry Opens Wide Lead and Medina Surges In Governor’s Race, Poll Finds

Feb. 12, 2010
AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Rick Perry has taken a commanding lead in the run-up to the March Republican primary, receiving support from 45 percent of likely voters, compared to 21 percent for U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and 19 percent for GOP activist Debra Medina, according to a statewide poll conducted by The University of Texas at Austin and the Texas Tribune.

The difference between Hutchison’s and Medina’s support is within the poll’s 5.12 percentage point margin of error for the Republican sample, suggesting the two are in a statistical dead heat. If no candidate receives 50 percent of the vote in the March 2 primary, the top two vote getters will face each other in an April runoff.

For starters look up Debra Medina’s column ‘Latinos and the GOP’

It’s a shame isn’t it, that Republicans continue to ignore Hispanics especially here in Texas?’ Debra Medina

‘Ignore them’, Mrs Medina? Since when? What more do you want? Or shouldn’t we ask?

Medina ad: “Who is going to think more about Latino families? Rick Perry, Kay Bailey Hutchison or me, who has a Latino family?” (Medina’s cultural heritage is German and Bohemian.)

Medina statement “Being married, however, to someone with a Mexican American heritage, I certainly embrace the culture.”

Another statement (upon being asked if she considers herself a latina): “I’d not consider myself anything other than a wife and mother, a nurse and a patriot. I believe we too often get into race when it’s immaterial.”

I'm sick and tired of illegals flooding into Texas, bringing with them crime, third world diseases, sucking our welfare system dry AND WHINING FOR MORE!

I don't believe for one minute Medina's propaganda aboout wanting to strengthen the border!

No, Thanks, Mrs Medina.Take your sombrero out of the ring and go home.
