I don’t know a lot about her, but like her from what I have read/seen. I was really surprised to see Palin back Perry instead of Medina.
Versus a waffley on the border amateur who’s claim to fame is she thinks she can sue when she doesn’t get what she wants (eg when she sued the RNC in 2008 to try to block seating of delegates because Ron Paul lost).
Some people are so invested in being anti anything, they will buy anyone that sells them a bill of goods.
Too bad it takes so much money for good people to get elected.
Texas Monthly is prety much our local version of Mother Jones, with full blown GLBT and Ecofreakdom advocacy.
From Texas Monthly? I wouldn’t trade a bucket of warm spit for that rag.
With that last name, all she has to do in Texas is win the primary — look who the Dems are fielding there. I am sending her money. It would be so wonderful to see this happen for the greater good of Texas. I hope people get behind her like they got behind Scott Brown. If she wins the primary, it will be interesting to see how Perry and KBH treat her.
No need for that snarky little put-down of Palin. He's not helping Medina with comments like that.
Medina's staunchest supporters are likely to be Tea Party/Palin folks.
GOOD1 HOW THE HELL LONG HAS ‘KAY BAILEY HUTCHINSON’ BEEN AROUND AND WHAT HAS IT GOTTEN US?????
I quit taking and reading TM years ago as it had become so liberal.
I’m thinking their purpose in this article is to try to have Medina as the Dims competition (White) because they think it would make it easier for White to win the election. I have doubts that any dim can win the governor’s spot in Texas—but one never knows.......
One thing about it: this is going to be a very interesting election—and yes, I’m still backing Medina.
That would be classic.
Also, do not assume that the name Medina means and automatic win in a heavily Hispanic state. Hispanics in Texas tend to vote 'rat, regardless of the last name. I will be voting for whichever person with an R in their name gets the nomination. I'm just not sure if I am going all out for Medina yet.
Forget Medina. You have to support the establishment candidates. They have been party approved!!!
(YES it is sarcasm)
Not really. Sarah Palin is a conservative. Medina is a libertarian. There is a pretty big difference.
Medina is pandering to the Hispanics for the vote. She has also energized the most bizarre of the Ron Paul accolytes and she herself has been one.
That, coupled with her complete lack of any experience that would lend value to the office of Governor is why she will not get my vote.
Texas is in good shape, money wise, which speaks well for Perry.
Medina is focusing on private property rights and this is a telling argument in Texas where the La Estrada is planning to cut across the state (up #35) and will be taking WIDE right of ways across the state.
Her campaign can not stop the governments right of eminent domain. Still she wants to cut our property taxes out and increase sales taxes to cover the amount; which would cause all to pay . Only the poor and immigrants, will get government cards giving them exclusion from these taxes. Once again.
Texas Monthly is so predictably loony-left that it’s not funny. They really DON’T LIKE Rick Perry and so they make stuff like this up.
A TM endorsement is the kiss of death for Medina. And can anyone ANYONE please cite what experience does Medina have to make her qualified to be CEO of Texas.
I’m sure she is a wonderful person and all that, but SHE HAS NO EXPERIENCE FOR THIS POSITION!!!
Iffen you think a Brown win was big........a Medina (Primary) win would pale it . The RNC would rather have a dem win at this point.
I’m voting for Perry.
