Just my luck. I am flying over to Florida on the 27th to visit my folks and go see the Glenn Beck/Bill O’Reilly speaking engagement in Tampa on the 29th. So looks like I will have to rely on thread comments and write ups for a report on how it goes....
In the mean time, I just donated $100 to Debra Medina. I want to hear a little more before I commit my vote, but I really like having her in the race.
I saw a post earlier or maybe a different thread where the person said she should go for a lesser office and pay some dues/get exposure type of thing.
I see that point, but also wonder isn't that where some of our politicians go wrong? In the process of paying dues/getting exposure they end up selling out little by little and we end up with another Perry or KBH.
Maybe we need to shoot for the moon and get a newbie in there. Maybe someone really raw like Medina is what it would take to shake things up.
I have seen a couple posts for Kinky, I guess that person has a similar thought about getting a real anti-establishment person in there. But to me Kinky would be a total freak show like Jesse Ventura was in Minnesota.
Kinky had his run as a GOP last time. This time he indicated he’d run as a democrat and didn’t make the show when White go in the race. I think he’s now over there in the AgCommish race. He claims he’s got a farm with a few cattle on it being run by someone in his family I believe.
In all honesty Texas with the weak Governor position could probaly stand a Ventura type as long as there is good leadership in the Legislatue and LtGov spot.
