Oh yayyy,split the conservative vote so Wendy Davis wins,,,,NO THANK YOU!

My exact thoughts. And I'm a black conservative.

This is very, very good news. Of course we’re all going to vote for Abbott, but bringing Lisa up in the ranks is fantastic.

She’s the real deal, I love her. She’s our anti-Michelle.

Go, Lisa, GO!

She's ok, but I didn't care for some of the attention-seeking articles she has written, such as the one bashing Palin.

She won't have the campaign funds to get near Abbott. Maybe this is just a campaign to bump up her name recognition.

Ordinarily, I’d say this is great news. In this race, not so much. I’m worried she may end up a vote splitter.

Are all the Tea Party candidates minority females?

Their politics are nearly identical.

She’s the real deal, I love her.

I like her too, but hope she doesn't run as a third party if she doesn't get the (R) nomination. I'd heard her on KLBJ many times and never knew she was black, until a black woman called in one morning and chewed her out, "cause you white women don't know what us blacks have been through in the past". Lisa lit into her and told her to get off the dim plantation and get a life.

Since the black vote went 95% for 0 bummer, I think she may take some away from abortion Barbie.

A lot of Texas TEA party members are minority and female.

Why doesn’t she challenge Cronyn for his US Senate seat?

Lisa Fritsch. Not in the headline, not in the lead. And this is someone who's notable, because she's on television frequently, according to the article. You don't suppose the DMN was trying to avoid giving a black, conservative woman some more name recognition, do you?

OMG, OMG, OMG! Lisa Fritsch! How wonderful! I have so very much enjoyed listening to her for years! She is wonderful!

After many years of listening to her on the radio, I saw her at a rally and found out that she is black. Talk about someone who doesn't talk with an ebonics accent, so I had no clue.

But more than that, she is so VERY CONSERVATIVE.

GOOD LUCK LISA, I WILL SEND MONEY.

I like that idea a whole lot better than her possibly splitting the conservative vote in the Governor's race. Corny needs a Tea Party challenge anyway.
