The best that can be said about Perry is that he is better than KBH. Although he has shown signs of being teachable. He is embracing the Tea Party movement. Maybe it’s politics, but maybe it is a Road to Damascus moment.
Now if we can just keep this an honest election.
Even with Kay’s dim friends (ACORN) being sent to Texas, I’m sure everything will be on the up & up. /s
1st Step is the Primary, doubt there will be many Acorn votes in the Texas Republican Primary.
I will not vote for KBH. And I do vote in the Texas Republican Primary.
Now she is quitting to run for another office in the middle of the last term she was elected to.
I will never vote for her again. I think she has proven without doubt that she puts herself first.
I want "the former" before her title.

I personally think it’s just politics. Perry always seems to go where he needs to to get elected yet he’ll push such thing as the TTC, Gardisal vaccinations, etc. Perry was born and raised in a democrat family. His dad was an elected democrat and Perry first offices were as a democrat. He changed to the GOP in late 1989 when the GOP was beginning to flourish in Texas. That said many of the Texas GOP were converts from the dems.
Just asking, does anyone know why we shouldn’t take a look at Debra Medina?

There are Medina and Kilgore in the race also both of which seem to get little attention. However Kilgore claims a fairly large vote in the 2006 gov. primary. I didn't go look it up to see if he is accurate.
Larry Kilgore...... I ran for Colorado HD40 in 1994, 1996 & 1998; Texas HD93 in 2004. In 2004 I became a secessionist because the US government had trample Texas sovereignty too many times. I placed second in the 2006 gubernatorial Republican primary with 50,000 votes running as a secessionist. My vote count quadrupled in the 2008 senatorial Republican primary garnishing 226,000 votes running as a secessionist. [end snip]
Debra Medina..... Not sure how well she is known statewide but has been involved in Wharton County GOP for a few years.

She has been active in her local politics but I don’t know how much statewide recognition she has. Very little is my guess which in the long run will hurt her chances. Big money, movers/shakers will settle between Perry/Hutchison is my guess. You see the alignments already being made.
Yep, she wanted to challenge Perry last time but as I understand the winds that blew the Party leaders asked/cojoled her to let Perry have one more term. I don’t know if that is true or not but I’ve heard that said.
Former....... with luck maybe we could get both Perry/Hutchison with ‘former’ before their names. Reckon?
FYI.....................
I already took a look at her, and realized that she has nowhere near the experience needed to be governor of Texas (and, if we look at it politically, every vote Medina gets from conservatives makes it easier for Hutchison to win the primary with a plurality).
Medina would make a terrific congressional candidate, though. She’s from Bee County, right? Bee County is in Hinojosa’s 15th CD, which is tough for Republicans but in which President Bush defeated John Kerry in 2004.
I don’t want Gov. Kinky! LOL!

She was born in Beeville but now lives in Wharton county and chairs that county GOP. That is Ron Paul’s district.

Kinky won’t win the Dem primary. I was really saying that maybe one of the other Pubs could win the primary and win the governor’s race. But that is highly unlikely so I guess it will be either the Tea Sip cheerleader or the Aggie Yell Leader.
Gig 'em!
Unless Medina is a Paulite, she could take on Paul in the primary, where she’d have a much better chance of winning than if she runs for governor.
I want no part of secession, but am sick of being sold-out by Pols.
I want it all back and the Commie Bast—ds not only out, but tried for Treason.
We have no wiggle room this time. This must be “fixed” now.
She’d have about as much chance against Paul as she does winning statewide in the governor primary, slim and none and slim just left the building.
Medina is a Paulite and that is where most of her support will come from. If noone gets a majority in the Republican Primary, there will be a runoff between the top 2, so theoreticallly, those voting for Medina can still vote against Hutchison in the runoff. However many of the Paulites I’ve talked too are too “pure” to vote for Perry and will simply sit out the runoff.
