I think Dems crossed over and voted for Medina in hopes of throwing our primary into a runoff.
Epic fail? :-)
Former Houston Mayor Bill White
I have been told this does not happen in TX.
‘Medina, just said she would not concede tonight.’
No third party.
That is how we ended up with Mc Cain.
Highly Unlikely...
Watch for Bill White to campaign to the RIGHT of center, but remember, he’s a leftist thug through and through...
He’s a BS artist just like the fool in the White House.
I’d say you Texans have figured it out. ‘Cross-dressing’ Dems. Symmetry - Dems and Paulbots voting for the same loon?
LOL! Thanks! We can’t let Texas go the way of the rest of
the country!
They are one trick ponies- it is all about being anti-war or some conspiracy surrounding that. Neo-hippies.
Perry is not on our side, but he’s much better than total RINO Whitman and loser Campbell. Those two aren’t even fiscal conservatives.
Perry has been governor too long and he is bad. Him being governor for longer is no victory for Texas.
How could that possibly benefit her?
Just more proof that these Paulbot Libertarians hate the Republicans more than they do the Democrats and the only reason they leech onto our ticket is in hopes of destroying the party from within.
Not really. If I'm not mistaken, this is the same Governor who issued an executive order requiring all teenage girls in Texas to receive the Gardisil vaccine for the sexually transmitted virus that causes genital warts and cervical cancer. At the time, his former chief of staff had just taken a huge lobbying gig at Merck.
He's as big of a sleazeball as they come. But he also jumped on the Tea Party bandwagon early on and spouted a bunch of meaningless empty threats about Texas seceding from the Obama union.
I hate to say it, but most voters - including Republican voters - are extremely dumb. Ours are just a little less dumb than theirs are.
I hope she can change bedpans and wipe bottoms better than she can recognize percentages.
KBH’s up for re-election in 2012. She said she was going to resign regardless of whether she won the nomination for Governor or not but she refused to take questions after her speech re the issue. She’s sold her house in DC so who knows what she’s going to do. My guess at this point is that she’ll stay in DC. Don’t trust her either way.
We are already working on Michael Williams’ challenge to her seat. He is one candidate I bet every FReeper can get behind.

Then he figured out that the wind was shifting in the tea party direction, showed up at one of their early rallies at the Alamo, gave his name to some meaningless bluster about Texas resuming its independence, and became their instant hero.
Bottom line: most voters are dumb. Only difference between us and the Democrats is that our voters are just a little less dumb.
Today we call him Governor Rick Perry. Tomorrow, we may very well call him President Rick Perry.
Unless you want George W. Bush round II plus a whole lot of Clinton style cronyism, you oughta be praying that never happens. Perry is NOT what he seems. He's an opportunist politician who has made an entire career shifting wherever the wind blows. Right now it's blowing right so he's hanging out with Tea Partiers. But in the past its blown other ways.
If you want an idea of just how far Rick Perry shifts, the same guy was Al-freaking-Gore's Texas campaign chairman in the 1988 Democratic presidential race.
We get Jay/Sarah/RonDog a half-hour late because of election coverage.
Not too bad...:)
