New Hutchison Ad

 KBH has a new, tough ad.

BurkaBlog: Texas Monthly

The BurkaBlog posted some interesting polling.The numbers:
Perry 45%
Hutchison 21%
Medina 19%
Undecided 16%
The poll surveyed 366 Republican primary voters and has a margin of error of +/- 5.12%.


Perry is too close to winning outright.  After Medina's comments on Glenn Beck's radio show, she may lose ground.  I think any loses for her will go to Perry.  Bad news for Hutchison.

Democrats and Independents must vote for Hutchison in the Republican primary to stop Perry. Hutchison's campaign has been inept to put it mildly.  Another 4 years of Perry would be unbearable.  A victory for Perry might put him on the Republican ticket in 2012.  Think about Palin/Perry.

Hutchison Responds on Medina's 9/11 Comments

 Kay Bailey Hutchison responded to Debra Medina's comments on Glenn Becks radio program.

“I know exactly who was responsible for the horrific attacks on September 11th – Al Qaeda terrorists who declared war on America. To suggest otherwise is an affront to the men and women who are sacrificing their lives to root out the terrorists in Afghanistan and around globe. Ever since that tragic day, I have fought tirelessly to ensure that we hunted down the Islamic extremists who target our nation. No one stood closer to President Bush and Vice President Cheney in their efforts to defeat the terrorist threat to our freedom.”

Medina: Strange Views of 9/11

Debra Medina has some strange views on 9/11.  Check out this site for a Glenn Beck radio interview with her.  Beck obviously thinks she is off the wall. http://tinyurl.com/ybkhr67 

Here is another reason to vote in the Republican primary.  Stop a 9/11 Truther from being the Republican candidate.  Some Democrats will same let her win, then Bill White will have a better chance.  I say if Medina makes it through the Republican primary, she would be elected governor.

Here's Debra Medina's response from her web site.

Medina Campaign Responds to Glenn Beck Interview

by Debra Medina on Feb 11, 2010

I was asked a question on the Glenn Beck show today regarding my thoughts on the so-called 9/11 truth movement. I have never been involved with the 9/11 truth movement, and there is no doubt in my mind that Muslim terrorists flew planes into those buildings on 9/11. I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way. No one can deny that the events on 9/11 were a tragedy for all Americans and especially those families who lost loved ones.
The question surprised me because it's not relevant to this race or the issues facing Texans. This campaign has always been about private property rights and state sovereignty. It is focused on the issues facing Texans. It is not a vehicle for the 9-11 truth movement or any other group.
The real underlying question here, though, is whether or not people have the right to question our government. I think the fact that people are even asking questions on this level gets to the incredible distrust career politicians have fostered by so clearly taking their direction from special interests instead of the people, whether it's Rick Perry and his HPV mandate or Kay Hutchison and voting for the bank bailout. It is absolutely the right and duty of a free people to question their government. Texas does not need another politician who tells you what you want to hear, then violates your liberties and steals your property anyway. I fully expect to be questioned and to be held accountable as Governor, and that's the underlying issue here: should people be questioning their government. And the answer is yes, they should be.
