Medina Tries to Dominate Last Gubernatorial Debate
Friday night's second and final debate between the Republican candidates for governor might as well be called "The Debra Medina Show." While the two big-name contenders — Kay Bailey Hutchison and Rick Perry — are trying not to make any career-threatening gaffes, she'll be trying to add momentum to an outsider run that has made her the most interesting candidate in the race.
Sponsored by Dallas-based Belo Corp. and broadcast (or at least offered to) TV stations across the state, the debate will feature the trio questioned by reporters in a television studio without an audience. The first debate, two ...

If Medina was an honest person, she'd be running in as in Independent or a Libertarian, as she is not a Republican. Nor does she support the Republican party, which she'll amply illustrate by endorsing a non-GOP candidate after she is ousted in the primary.
Without Median in the mix, KBH most likely drops out before now and goes back to lying about resigning her Senate seat.
As it, Medina will force a run-off between KBH and Rick Perry, costing the candidates and the State of Texas more money in a run-off election that would have been unnecessary had Median has the courage of her convictions to run in a party where she's actually politically aligned.
Either way, here's my prediction: KBH will lose to Rick Perry , who will then go on to drum Bill White in the general election in November. KBH will go back to the Senate, despite numerous promises to resign her seat.

If you were an honest person, you would point out that both KBH and Perry should be running as moderate Democrats and not Republicans. That is if you bothered to look into thier histories and voting records.
Medina is running as an actual Republican. As opposed to most of the RINOs we have wandering around our great state. With the obvious exception of Ron Paul, of course.
From the looks of your prediction you are going to vote the way a typical voter would. Why don't you just skip the middleman and vote in Perry's hair stylist, since that is the only discenable impressive difference between the two frontrunners?
Here is a thought. You have a brain and an internet connection. Use both, do a little research and vote for the person who most represents what you want in a REPRESENTATIVE.
The reason america is so screwed up right now is because we all think that we are judges on American Idol. We are not. We are ~We The People~ and have the right to vote.
Please use that right while we still have it.

If "special interests" weren't so deeply involved with the establishment politicians, this would be a whole different ballgame. Everybody and their momma knows that Debra's the best person for the job because she understands where the real problems are and has not sold out to corporations.

Independent Texans are booting Perry right now at http://BootPerry.org/give-him-the-boot. How we vote in the primary will be determined by tonight's debate. Good luck to Debra and Kay - boot Perry gals!
