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.

Exactly.
"Gravitas"? This guy is assigning gravitas to a relative newcomer, who for all appearances is mostly just a rebel, and at the same time, attempting to reduce or invalidate someone of Sarah Palin's stature who has actually accomplished a great deal in her life?
Phhhhhhttttt.......
I feel your pain, really. Delay's reallocation took me OUT of dogshit's district, and put me in McCaul's. I think McCaul is a great Rep.
People wondered how much damage Obama could do.
We know the answer to that.
Some people don’t learn from history.
Pity.
I’m voting for Perry.
You're obviously as clueless a Palin hater as any garden variety liberal.
No need for me to explain why. You've been here long enough to have seen every bit of logic and reason that dismantles your arguments against her.
Problem is that her business never has done anything. Look at her background for pete’s sake. Payroll? for who?
Yep. You called that one right. Austinites lusting for acceptance by their “betters” on the other coasts...(”I’m not one of those Texans. I subscribe to Texas Monthly!”)
No I haven't. She's not trustworthy. Feel free to wallow in the cult of personality building up around her. I prefer to think for myself.
Perhaps, but it is the repudiation of Bill White that matters.
you don’t need any experience to be elected Governor or to congress or President. The founders didn’t write you need executive experience in the constitution did they?
It is a serious question whether Palin can prevent being co-opted by the establishment. Backing McCain and Perry are not good signs.
Yeah, but does she write crib notes on the palms of her hands?
Medina winning. What a disaster that would be. Almost as bad a Obama.
Forget Medina. You have to support the establishment candidates. They have been party approved!!!
Exactly. After all, they have all of that really valuable political “experience”. We can’t elect citizens who are self-supporting and who haven’t spent a lifetime lusting after political office.
Ok, the statement
If Medina wins it will make news as a repudiation of Sarah Palin.
Sounded to me like you believed it was a repudiation of Sarah and would be reported as such.
My bad, but I would have expected a statment like.
If Medina wins, the media will make it into a repudiation of Sarah.
I just misunderstood you. :-)
In my opinion....absolutely NOT!!
And she has been a Ron Paul head cheerleader.
These Libertarians run on the Republican ticket because they know there's no way they'd have a chance on the Libertoon ticket. And they try to hide their Libertoon-ness when running in an election like this.
Some of us won't be fooled.
I also don't like her shameless pandering to one minority group. We're all Texans, no matter what our ethnic background. Debra seems to think some are more equal than others.
Geez, another Newbie flackin’ for Medina. You might mention to people that Paul Burka is a hardcore Democrat who is obviously out to split the Republican vote and get Bill White elected.
More Falcon poop. Prove your statement.
“the soul of conservatism is libertarianism”
where’s Reagan Man when you need him!
