Already voted Perry. Obvious why any of us wouldn’t vote for KBH. Medina is a paultard truther amateur who is ignorant of how Texas operates, used to be open borders (rhetoric has changed), and has some very anti-localism policies like taking away local taxation funding for schools and give it to Austin.
Why Perry? Frankly, for Texas he is a RINO, but he is more Conservative than most other governors. Pro-life, pro-second amendment, strong on 10th Amendment resolutions, he has done more for border security than the other border governors. He does have some faults (TTC, HPV), however, in both cases, he has shown he is willing to bend to the people. Some call it pandering but I would rather a politician pander when the people make their voices heard about a subject than to stand stubbornly like some dictator.
Texas is in the best shape of all states in the recession. We still have the lowest per capita tax rate (yes, including property taxes) and are running a surplus. Why screw that up?
Voted Perry already.
Any recent polls?

Wait till next budget time and tell me about the surplus, tax rates, etc. Unless Obama comes up with another $12 billion in stimulus like what was used to balance the budget last time. I’m hearing maybe a $17 billion short fall that is going to have to come from some where.
Yup. Me too.
I already voted for Perry, too—but it was a bit of a “hold your nose” vote.

That’s a good, concise description of how I voted, and why.
Perry wins by simple process of elimination.
