Debra Medina for US Senate (Texas)

[libertarian4321]

I've still got one or two signs from the last election.

Just need to cross out "governor" and write in "senator".

What because she hinted at the truth that 9-11 was staged by the military industrial complex? +1 for Medina.

She should run for the house not the senate.

I'd rather have her run for Governor and promote secession while in office. Too bad about the whole 9/11 thing. Perhaps... Robert Paul for Governor?

You do realize that she lives in Ron Paul's district right? Running for the house is kind of out of the question...

She can run in the special election in 2013 when Ron assumes the Presidency.

I wonder if Chuck Norris would make a good candidate for Governor. He can easily raise money due to his fame, long time Conservative writer, Ron Paul fan, pro-secession, etc..

Ron is probably going to be redistricted. It depends if she falls into Ron's new district or into a newly created one.

She could likely become a TX state rep. That's what is ready for her, if she chooses to run. It's a great place to be.

Being a Texas state rep. isn't the ideal launching pad for a political career.

How about State Senate?

 

[VaderM5]

Same thing. The Texas state congress only meets once every 2 years to discuss a handful of bills. No real name recognition there for someone wanting to move up. Some better positions for her would be Speaker of the house (voted on in Texas), Comptroller, or lieutenant governor. All 3 positions have a big influence in the state congress.

That's not looking as likely now as it was a week ago.

"The dramatic growth of the Latino and African American population is the only reason Texas is receiving additional congressional seats, and any plan that fails to add at least three additional effective minority opportunity districts would violate the Voting Rights Act," Veasey said.

The Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund also proposed an alternative map that produced two Hispanic opportunity districts, one along the border and the other in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Arlington, has filed a lawsuit in a Corsicana state district court asking that the judge there draw new districts because the Legislature failed to act. The judge there has yet to rule on the request.

Seliger said he would prefer the Legislature do the redistricting, but admitted that any map would almost certainly end up in court.

"The federal courts since 1971 have always played a role in the final map," Seliger said. "If we get our map done and a special session done, there will still be someone who's not happy and will file a lawsuit. We accept that."

Oh this is bullshit...
