AUSTIN, Texas - Texas Gov. Rick Perry took an early lead over Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and a third candidate drawing support from the state's tea party movement as initial Republican gubernatorial primary returns started to trickle in Tuesday.

Perry sought the GOP nomination for an unprecedented third, full four-year term. Angry protest voters backing conservative activist Debra Medina could force the governor and Hutchison into an April 13 runoff election, if no candidate gets a majority.

Medina is a nut

Unlike Tex and the Blonde Airhead? Perhaps you just like your nuts chosen from the same pool of dishonest establishment politicians.

[achilles2000]

Agreed, but we seem to be addicted to voting for familiar liars and swindlers.

[lonestar]

YOU don't know what you're talking about.

KBH was no help and Medina is married to a ...Medina! FYI, Medina isn't Irish!...and I have nothing against legal aliens!!!

Ignore the muddleheaded gnome.
Birthers and Truthers are irresistibly attracted to one another.

Pissant - quit messing with Texas. Just go away!

[pissant]

I know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. That’s the problem with Perry voters. Most don’t. Either that or they are convinced Medina really is a troofer, which she ain’t. But I don’t get to vote. Just keep him in Texas, please.

[pissant]

Grams A. Quit whining.

[Hattie]

If Medina is a conservative, then I have to change my party affiliation.

Looks like those last polls were fairly accurrate.

[thackney]

I’ve been watching the site since they started reporting.

It has had little change from when it was only the early voting results and very few precincts reporting.

[pissant]

Great day for the amnesty crowd.

[thackney]

Give it up.

She lost.

[pissant]

Looks that way. But like I said, a great day for the amnesty pimps. Next up, maybe McCain can beat back Hayworth.

[presently no screen name]

If Perry wins - you think he’ll be campaigning for McCain?

[pissant]

No doubt

Hoping for a Medina/Perry runoff. Expose the RINO

The RINO already exposed herself on Glenn Beck, and a few other venues in addition.

[pissant]

She’s never be quite the Rino as the amnesty Princess Perry

IIRC, Medina is pro-illegal.
