Saying her two high-profile rivals have dropped the ball for Texas, Wharton County GOP chairwoman Debra Medina on Saturday announced her campaign for the Republican nomination for governor.

Debra Medina “We’ve done little to move in the right direction. Some may even say we’ve lost yardage,” Medina said during a rally at the Westin Galleria Dallas. “I’m ready to take the field as quarterback, for a time, for Texas.”

Medina, a top volunteer in U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, joins powerhouse Republicans Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchison as candidates in the March primary.

With little money and firmly outside of the political mainstream, Medina hopes to capitalize on the growing anti-Washington sentiment in Texas, including those with libertarian views about property rights, limited government and the protection of personal freedoms.

Why Medina Race Matters

Our people across the country have an easy time seeing the benefit for them personally of supporting quality candidates from other states, such as Rand Paul. It is not as easy to see the benefit of supporting a Governor candidate such as Debra Medina. I would like to throw out some food for thought about why we should all consider this an important race.

• This is not a pie in the Sky race, this is a winnable race. Some nationally known political strategists have called the Texas Governor’s race one of the best chances in 2010 for a populist candidate to win. The first Republican Governor elected in Texas since Reconstruction, was elected in 1978, at some point in the early to mid ‘90s Texas became a solid Republican State. It is the largest solid Republican State in the Union and easily one of the Reddest of the Red states. A Democrat has not been elected to a state-wide office in Texas in 14 years. Since 1978 there have only been TWO heavily contest Republican Primaries for Governor, yes you heard my right, TWO. The last one was in 1990, almost 20 years ago. The party elite have worked very hard to keep it that way. Heavy pressure was applied to Kay Bailey Hutchison to keep her from running against Rick Perry in 2006. Rumors abound that Perry promised not to run for reelection in 2010. Well jump forward to 2009, and the Rick Perry vs Kay Bailey Hutchison heavy weight battle the party elite so feared in 2006 is all set for 2010. Early campaigning has already shown it will be a bloodbath. 350,000 to 400,000 votes will put Debra Medina in a run-off, which is less than 2% of the total population of the state.
• How does a win in the Texas Governor race benefit those that live in the other 49 states? To illustrate the national visibility a state Governor can have (think Palin on a much larger scale [population, not area]), since WWII there have been 11 Presidents. Their job prior to becoming President? 1 – Military, 2 – Senator, 4 – Vice President & 4 – Governor. A win in the Governor’s race in Texas could become our Normandy. A small beachhead that could quickly engulf the nation.

Debra was a speaker at the Fort Worth 912 Rally

today. For about the 1st minute or so people weren't really responding to her speech, but as it went on there was more and more clapping and hooting. I was greatly surprised and encouraged to see plenty of Medina signs, t-shirts, and handouts today. It was a lot more than I expected. I wore my Ron Paul 2008 shirt, but crossed out 08 and wrote in 12 with permanent marker. Our friends that I didn't see til the end had handed out 1200 Fiat Empire DVDs.

Good to see

She has my vote.
