Blog: Medina upcoming polls (was 'fading')

Bahh .. I don't care what the polls say. Me, My Wife and My brother just voted for Medina. Count us as 3 more that didn't vote for govenor last time around.
 
absentee voting is heavy everywhere. In some places double what it was in 2006. Polls will be subject to wide disparity as no one know who these new voters are. Texas has an open primary and anyone, regardless of past voting history, can vote in the Republican primary.
 
Are they polling Democrats and Independents because they are voting for Debra too.

There are still a LOT of undecided.

My husband and I voted for Debra today - it felt really good. :)

I like Medina too but PPPoll is one of the most accurate polling company. If they're hinting that shes fading then it isn't good news. I hope the Democrats and Indies vote for her like the people on this thread are saying.

It figures that she dropped in the Republican polls after the hack job by Beck. There are still too many "Republicans" who listen to & actually trust these MSM neo-con scumbags like Beck. If she is going to win this thing it will have to be because Independents & Democrats came over in droves. I hope that is the case.

Were they referring to the fact that New Mexico beat out Texas as the next place for them to poll? I will be very surprised if Medina lost ground because of the Beck ambush. If anything I believe it helped her. I lived in Texas for about ten years -- outsiders do not mess with Texas and get away with it :o)

I just read the article again. Since when does a pollster give out information before the poll is complete? This does not pass the smell test.

Last time PPPoll polled KY they hinted Rand Paul was in the lead. A few days later they released the numbers.
 
they are probably right because they get the early sample, they do it over 2 days and these trends tend to be predictable, so the results on day 1 tend to follow on day 2
 
Hopefully, Americans will one day learn to disregard the opinions of others and simply execute their duty. If the former is done, the result will take care of itself. Americans need to stop allowing themselves to be blown around by the wind. Again, simply execute your duty (vote for Medina and help fellow voters do likewise) and the result will care of itself. If you simply MUST listen to pollsters, use unfavorable polls as a motivator! In other words, get out there, defy the odds, and work for a more favorable poll! Instead of sulking over unfavorable polls, vote, assist other voters to vote for Medina, and help the Medina campaign through donations of time and money. Go Debra! :)

Looking at this from an academic point of view, Debra should not be over 10%. She spent 1/10th of what Perry and Hutchison spent, maybe not even, and she is in the teens at the very least. Had she been a millionaire, we could have won, but she's just an ordinary Texan. Still, running against two establishment candidates and even getting in the teens is commendable and Debra should be congratulated. It does nothing for the movement, but it is nice to see a somewhat competitive liberty candidate.

Who knows? Maybe, another money bomb is in order around Feb 24th or so for a billboard. How quickly can one be put up in a major metropolitan area, e.g. Houston and Dallas? ;)

IF at least 50 other people on these forums are willing to match my $100 donation for 2 billboards strategically placed in Dallas and Houston respectively with an outrageously good message favorable to Debra, then we only need to procure two billboards by Feb 25th or so. Can two billboards be purchased for $5k? Do we have 50 donors at $100 each? Can RPFs agree on a superb slogan for Texans to ponder on election day? Can Texans procure such billboards by at least Feb 25th? Lots of IFs, but I'm willing to part with money if these IFs can be made reality.

There is one thing that no has mentioned, that I'm aware of, and that is the fierce resistance taking place at the local level, by those entrenched Republicans who have been in power since Reagan. Here in Brazoria County, two years ago there was zero campaign effort for the precinct chairs and the county chair. This year we, The Texas Liberty Campaign, are running a full slate of candidates for these positions and the opposition is putting up stiff resistance. They are placing ads in the paper, putting up signs, personal mailouts and letters to the editor in response to our effort. The local paper has had two front page news stories on this battle for control of our county party. We began to see these signs of resistance about a week ago, but it has kicked into high gear just in the past few days.

They are making a determined effort to get their supporters out to the voting places and then to the precinct convention later that same evening. This battle will undoubtedly have a spill over effect on the governor's race.
