Medina becoming a factor in Texas
Raleigh, N.C. – Rick Perry continues to hold onto a double digit lead in the Republican primary for Governor of Texas but the biggest story may be that Debra Medina is coming on strong.
Perry is at 39% to 28% for Kay Bailey Hutchison and 24% for Medina. There are major splits within the race along ideological lines. Perry is at 42% with conservatives, and Medina is now outpolling Hutchison with them by a 25-23 margin. Hutchison cleans up with moderates, leading Perry 49-29, but unfortunately for her prospects they account for only 20% of GOP primary voters.
One finding in the poll helps sum up the mood in the country right now and may give a clue as to why Hutchison is having so much trouble. Asked whether they trust Austin or Washington politicians more to solve Texas’ problems, state level politicians win out by
a margin of 78-3.
There’s no doubt Medina is riding the wave of discontent with the political establishment. She actually leads the race, 37-32 over Perry, with the third of primary voters who disapprove of Washington politicians. With those who are happy she trails well behind at 17%.
“The big question for Debra Medina is whether there’s enough unhappy voters out there for her to get into a runoff with Rick Perry,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “That would rank up there with the results of the Massachusetts Senate election as an early shocker in the 2010 political season.”
There is less drama on the Democratic side- Bill White leads Farouk Shami 49-19. PPP surveyed 400 likely Democratic primary voters and 423 likely Republican primary voters from February 4th to 7th. The margin of error for the Democratic survey is +/-4.9% and for the Republicans it’s +/-4.8%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

Sooo.
The margin of error for the Democratic survey is +/-4.9% and for the Republicans it’s +/-4.8%.
So in theory it could read...
Perry 36%, Hutchison 25%, Medina 29%
Thursday - War All The Time
Just one question: is she
Just one question: is she anti-war?
She is opposed to the illegal "war on terror"
She's worked on Ron Paul's campaigns as well. She has suggested in her run for Governor that National Guard troops be pulled back and be utilized to defend the border here at home. Pharaphrasing she's stated, [Texas guard] get ready to deploy to the S. Texas border when I'm elected.

Texas will not attack Iran!
She said she did not want Texas to succeed...which would lead to war vs. the US. I sure she does not want Texas to got to war with Mexico. The governors do not decide what the US military does. What does it matter? If she was the Texas campaign coordinator for Ron Paul what do you think?
Let me put one stipulation.
Well if Iran hits Texas and Obama does not attack Iran then we might send the Texas Guard.
All politics are local.
All politics are local. Medina's message wouldn't get her more than a handful of votes in Massachusetts. A reminder that up here, we need to lead with anti-war, anti-wall street, pro privacy. Strategy reigns supreme.
The first 5 million supporters of Dr. Paul are 'early adopters.' The next 10 million will require a modified approach.
Migration to Texas?
If Medina wins - I may move back to Texas!
martinidick
I'll bet her numbers are even higher
after Texas Independents backed her.
Just
awesome

Hey I have an idea : )
I don't have the skills but someone should make a website
where we can sign up:
IF DEBRA MEDINA WINS I WILL MOVE TO TEXAS!!!
This would boost the state's economy adding fuel to the fire once she gets rid of property taxes.
If we get a high number maybe even some media attention.
If Debra Wins I Will Move to Texas
Ingenious! Someone jump on it!!!
{Country} SINGERS/SONGWRITERS
Grab A Pen, Paper And Guitar.
We Need a HIT.
NOW!
And Where The Hell Is Willie Nelson ?
Someone Needs To Call Him And Wake His @** Up.
He HAS To Get Behind Debra.
And I Mean Physically, Directly Behind Her !
[You Owe Me One, Willie]
Headline says "Medina
Headline says "Medina Bringing the Heat."
They should have also said "Medina Packs Heat", which she does.

Trevor Lyman, where are you
Trevor Lyman, where are you and the gang that promoted the 2007 Money Bombs and the Ron Paul Blimp?
Assuming Debra gets in the run off she is going to need a lot of cash to effectively compete with her opponent, regardless of who he/she is. We raised record breaking amounts of money for Ron Paul in 2007. Can we duplicate it for Debra?
GO MEDINA!
GO GO GO.... Down with Perry and the NWO!

Medina will win...
if she keeps on the upward spiral with the momentum going the way it has been. She is that good and she appears to be unflappable!
Like that!

Go Medina! GO GO GO GO GO GO
Go Medina! GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!
"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."
Huge Grassfire in Texas!!!
Yes! There is a raging grass(roots) fire spreading across Texas. They are calling this unprecedented wildfire the Debra Medina Freedom fire! Texans are joining by the thousands to fan the flame of Liberty and Freedom!!

Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow
Can we say
MEDINA BLOWOUT. Anyone that takes the time to view a youtube of the KERA or BELO Texas GOP Governors race
it's Medina all the way. Please Lord lay your hand on Debra Medina for the win.
Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow
"Medina Blowout" or a "Perry Blown Out?"
The momentum is now building like a Mack truck rolling downhill after being pushed slowly and effortly up to the edge of the crest. Hang on!
Hopefully it's a tipping point
Where the milk and the glass hit the floor and they go viral.
Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow
Recent post on Politico
The following is a comment to a Politico article by Dr. Alan Price.
Hutchison is "blowing money in the wind" as she attempts to close the double-digit gap between herself and incumbent governor, Rick Perry, after leading him by double digits early in the campaign. She had best worry about stopping the Medina Liberty Express which is barelling down on her.
Debra Medina, the grass roots, citizen candidate, whose poll results have "octupled" since September 2009, when she registered 3% support from likely Republican primary voters, to the most recent 8-point jump in her poll figures to 24%. According to Public Policy Polling, she now trails Hutchison, whose support lost one point to 28%, by less than the margin of error of the poll, which was nearly 5%. She is currently only 15 points behind Governor Perry, whose numbers fell from 44% ten days ago to 39% currently.
Thus, Medina may already be, statistically speaking, in a position to challenge Perry in a runoff election, leaving Hutchison with an excuse to pack up and head back to Washington before the outcome is clear. This is especially likely, since polling typically samples likely Republican voters. This leaves out of consideration the large number of Independents, who represent over 40% of the American electorate, and who in Texas are very unhappy with the Governor on many fronts. Supporting this possibility is the fact that "Indy Texans" just gave Debra Medina their endorsement, which required support from 60% of its membership.
I have published an analysis of Medina's political style at the following link:

Google Debra Medina
I want Bailout to stay in as long as possible.
All of her ads slam Bush Lite--it's like free advertising for Debra.

Incumbents Are Notoriously Famous For Losing In Runoffs !!
Debra Medina Will Become The Next Texas Governor Unless She Is Cheated At The Polls..
Governor Perry And His Fake Accent Has No Chance To Beat Her..He Stands For Nothing...
Incumbents Are Notoriously Famous For Losing In Runoffs.
The Kay Bay, The Moderate To Liberal Candidate, Is A Tired Horse And Has Run Out Of Steam..
Debra Will Get To The Runoff And Then Beat The Daylights Out Of Perry...
Debra has at least three things going for her.
1. The truth
2. Ron Paul's old Campaign Manager.
3. Us.
Now we need to step up number 3
Go to the Medina website http://www.medinafortexas.com
Notice that they have announced a series of online Town Hall Meetings between now and the Primary. The first is scheduled for Feb. 15.
I suggest we organize Town Hall parties all over the State by gathering groups together to watch and interact using a large screen monitor.
This is a great opportunity to invite outsiders and whittle away at the 51% "I don't know much about her" number. If all Texans knew about her, I believe she would be at 50% or above right now.
Great idea. Are there Texas
Great idea. Are there Texas meetup groups for Medina?
