As a Medina supporter I’m not going to be too worried about the polls until after the Christmas season (late January probably) when more people start to pay attention to the primary race. Furthermore, in this tea party environment I think the atmosphere is perfectly aligned for a genuine anti-establishment small government pro-liberty pro-Constitution conservative, especially with a little bit of last minute help from the blogosphere and talk radio, to very quickly emerge (like Hoffman in NY-23 last month) as a viable alternative to the mainstream, big-government status quo alternatives.

For me, the number one issue is which candidate is most willing to use the power of the state government to stop the federal government from enforcing some of the existing and any new unconstitutional regulations in areas such as agriculture, energy, education, healthcare,industry and any other areas where the federal government has no authority to involve itself under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

KBH has no intention of lessening Texas’ subservience to Washington DC and Rick has had a decade to actively assert Texas’ sovereignty and done substantially nothing (except yap insincerely about secession) in that time. Debra on the other hand is making the nullification of unconstitutional regulations/legislation one of the main planks in her campaign for governor.

Once her campaign steps it up a notch in terms of visibility (I would assume in mid-January) with some radio/TV ads I would expect her to quickly jump into the teens in terms of support and then it’s a ballgame.
