see comment #8 forgot to add you, sorry.
I remember the more I found out about her stances to more I liked what I heard I just wasn’t convinced she knew politics very well. Austin is a strange town especially for someone outside of the powerful political networks. Her power would come from keeping people mad at the status quo allowing her to shake things up.
Then she goes and loses all the people in one fell swoop just as Texans were preparing to vote.
I think she actually lives in Wharton.
Another thing she had going for her as far as getting votes was that she is married to a Mexican—and I think they adopted some Mexican kids if I remember correctly.
IMO- Beck set it up to nail Medina against the wall. Glen Beck was and still is in the Perry camp after all.
