I have the information directly from her. She is against Washington making laws where States Rights should be making them. Washington is spending money trying to control drugs which is not working. She feels that Texans (State Rights) should be making laws about drugs, marriage, cell phones, medical, etc. She will abide by the "Constitution of Texas" and uphold laws inacted by Texans. Her statement on the debate, "What we are doing now is not working" has been misrepresented, even though the statement is correct.

Candidate Medina won and struck me & others as a down-to-Earth conservative with no 'agenda' for lobbyists or special-interest groups other than "We The People" which is appealing to voters this cycle. I believe Ms. Medina has the where-with-all to become a true statesman and not another politician who just 'homesteads' an office and spends millions to retain the seat term after term. We need term limits on every public office, not just the Presidency. KICK ALL the bums out: Not one [NO ONE] of any gender or political persuasion could do ANY worse!

Among this group Medina leads with 39% followed by Hutchison and Perry at 27% and 26% respectively. We have seen the huge impact of independents in other races, namely Massachusetts. <br /><br />In this race, where coming in 2nd is basically a win (assuming no one gets 50% and that appears unlikely now), and given the trend of increasing Medina percentages among the polls, it appears she is well positioned to be in the runoff. The biggest challenge for any up-start candidate is getting past the "h/she can't win" argument. That argument doesn't hold now, being down to Hutchison by only 4% with 3 weeks yet to go. Expect those withholding their Medina support to now come out and her poll numbers and eventually actual votes will surge. We all know the supporters of "tea party" or "anti-establishment" candidates are extremely highly motivated and they will definitely vote, and that only bodes even better for Medina.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-21897679250413679752010-02-09T13:26:37.168-05:002010-02-09T13:26:37.168-05:00hellz yea.
