I'll leave it to the Texas freepers to tell us if this is good or bad. She's an "immigration" activist but admires Perry and Abbott.

I’m not sure. Like you say, leave it to Texan Freeps, BUT she is the name I have been reading over and over again when people talk about potential trouble for Cornyn. Presumably, she has a high name ID in the state,

It's going to take a Gohmert to even consider moving Cornyn, but she's welcome to the primary. Anything to push Cornyn into a run-off.

I dunno. I’m always hoping for a non-atty because the candidate has three strikes against him just from the start. Then I heard Cruz was from Harvard and figured “he’ll be bought within a week, how could Palin want him?” And he’s been a gift. Shaking Cornyn up looks mighty nice.

If she’s truly conservative, Cornyn will be in trouble with a hispanic woman running against him. A Palin endorsment would literally kill his senate career and remove him from power.

During the temporary lapse in funding, I swear I saw John Cornyn’s picture on a milk carton.

“Anything to push Cornyn into a run-off.”

Right, exactly. And Wyatt and Stovall are also in the race. If we can keep Cornyn under 50%, we can remove him from power. The worry is, who comes in 2nd??

Wendy Davis screwed up...she should have taken on Cornyn instead of running for Governor.

She’s an immigration lawyer. That probably means she’s pro-amnesty, with all the trimmings.

If it looks and smells bad, it must be bad.

This candidate smells.

We do not need more lawyers to represent us Texans in DC.

Already 225 of them are lawyers......

She’s a little vague on immigration reform.

And Mike Lee was an attorney, right?

There’s no way she’s winning that race. Texas will reject abortion barbie by double digits.

I sure ever won’t vote for Cornyn again but Vega as a viable option? I don’t have a problem with her being an attorney, her being an immigration activist is particularly troubling. At this juncture I don’t see that she would offer any good reason to vote for her, considering what she has been doing for a living - and probably quite profitably. Need to find out more about Stovall.

ABSOLUTELY..pass this one up..a true separatist.She is all part of the Hispanic Outreach demographic-club-wielding crowd. She was running for state senate, I believe but I guess her ego got ahead of her here...
