Texas Monthly: Watch out for Medina! She could win
Texas Monthly ^ | 10th Feb | Paul Burka

Posted on 02/10/2010 9:20:20 AM PST by takecontrol

I have been telling friends for a couple of weeks now that if Medina can raise $2 million by February 16 (the start of early voting), she will be governor. What this poll tells me is that Texans are sick and tired of Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchison and their career politician credentials and their negative campaigns. Medina is Sarah Palin with gravitas and without the winks.

“I live in Lakeway overlooking beautiful (finally back up to normal) Lake Travis.”

Almost 672 and rising! I check often. Look forward to spending as much time as I can (given I live near Houston) on the lake. Did you know that the 2010 AquaPalooza will be on Lake Travis this year?

Huh? He was elected Gov as a Republican. the oldest thing here is 2003. Most is much more recent. And KBH has been a disaster as long as I can remember.

Quit pimping your worhtless RINOs here.

For pete’s sake. He had never before run for public office, and he turned out to be a pretty good governor. That was my point, which you deliberately misunderstood. I am picking up a lot of elitism and misogyny here.

Wanting a candidate to have experience is now “elitism”? You’re joking right?

Well, if that is your criteria, I guess you’ll be voting for KBH.

You said: Interesting that you consistently work harder against Republicans than you do against Obama. Your Democrat slip is showing.

Oh, please. Burka and the same people who brought us Perot are attempting to build Medina up so they can knock her down and hand the win to White. Only this time it won't work. Nice try.

Well said. I hope you are right. The Dems are sending Medina money right now, you can bet on that.

I’ll “blather” as I see fit, so stop with the futile attempt to give me orders, you silly little Internet-bully-wannabe.

As for the rest of your screed, you have done what a lot of useful idiots do in making ridiculous assumptions as to my own views in order to make yourself look good.

Therefore, you have earned no credibility whatsoever.

Rick Perry it is, then? But he has less experience than KBH. I know, I know, consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.

Quit pimping your worthless Losertarians, here. If you know anything about Texas you know that the huge Mexican population makes immigration an issue the Democrats use against the GOP and it has to be dealt with carefully.

I know that Third party trolls like you, need to misrepresent and lie, but Medina isn't going to do it for you. Try somewhere with a dumber voting base.

That Paul Burka at Texas Monthly is actually flacking for Medina tells you all you need to know. It might as well be Pravda.

Coming from the Troll Party, that’s quite a compliment.

I believe it is a S&W M&P.

Looks to be a 9mm.

No one was giving you “orders”. By all means, feel free to blather on. Oh, by the way, I am prostrated indeed by your failure to find me credible.

Do you have anything substantive to say about the primary, or is it just to scary for you to contemplate that someone who isn’t an establishment approved Republican candidate might get the nomination? While Medina might not be my ideal candidate, Perry, White, and KBH by their actions in office have removed any doubt as to their general unfitness.
