Medina at 24% in PPP Poll!!!

[TonySutton]

Oh wow, I just remembered I have a coworker up here from TX this week. I think I will invite him to supper tonight and find out where he stands.

I think she's going to start getting a lot more free publicity after these poll results. The MSM was still only just noticing her jump to 16%.

We can always help things along by posting this poll around the internets

Does anyone know if it's conventional in Texas to have a second round of debates between the first election and the run-off?

If Medina could face off with Rick Perry in a couple more debates before the run-off, I think her victory would be sealed.

Texas hasn't had a contested gubernatorial primary in years, let alone a run-off. "Conventional" is not defined.

 

[UtahApocalypse]

Only 4% of 423 polled, self identified as liberals. Than is 17 people. It is not surprising that 8 would be Medina supporters.

nm, someone is faster with a calculator than me

Don't expect the media to crunch the numbers though.

Good news!! now just keep pushing Texas!

From the reliably positive Doug Weigel:

The new Public Policy Polling numbers on the Texas gubernatorial primary have first-time candidate Debra Medina surging against Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), from nowhere to 24 percent support.

Medina is clearly riding the wave of discontent with the Republican establishment. Among primary voters who disapprove of the job the GOP in Congress is doing she actually leads with 37% to 32% for Perry and 22% for Hutchison.

Medina owes at least some of her support to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), who has employed her on his electoral bids and with his Campaign for Liberty, and who tipped off his supporters to her candidacy in September. While the challenge Paul is facing from three Tea Party candidates reveals that the movement is much more hawkish and traditionally Republican in federal elections, the 10th Amendment argument is clearly a winner with state voters.

And how much further to the right is Medina than the other candidates? While Perry edged away from his apparent endorsement of secession at an April 15 Tea Party, Medina spoke in August at a “sovereignty or secession” rally.YouTube - Texas Sovereignty or Secession Rally - Debra Medina

[jblosser]

April 13.

 

[jblosser]

jblosser, are there going to be any phone bank things going on?

I'm not up on what the individual field coordinators have going on. Contact your county/regional coordinator and they'll know what's available.

Hmm, now what is the best way for Glenn Beck to capitalize on this recent success? Anyone on the fence about him better pay real close attention.

 

[Cowlesy]

You Texans could make this happen....she's off like a meteor in the polls right now

 

[John Taylor]

Let's go Medina!

 

[dr. hfn]

Hey Debra! Endorse Sam Rohrer here in Penna!

 

[muzzled dogg]

We should have a mini money bomb in honor of Deb's advance in the poll.

 

[TXcarlosTX]

HA

HA

HA

Say the run off is between Perry and Medina, will the KBH element come to our side or back Perry? I ask because KBH people are the same establishment republicans are they not?

Even if Medina loses the run-off, the liberty movement will still be in a much, much stronger position.

 

[Meiun]

I am shocked, amazed and overjoyed all at once. This is looking very much like the last 2 weeks of Scott Brown's campaign/election.

Can we really do this? I'm starting the viral feed from my end. I'll do all I can from up here in Arkansas.

Q1 The Republican candidates for Governor are Kay Bailey Hutchison, Debra Medina, and Rick Perry. If the election was today, who would you vote for?

28% Hutchison ..............
24% Medina ..................
39% Perry .....................
10% Undecided.............

for 29% we would need only 50% of the Undecided voters

Less, you take 2% from KBH and 2% from Perry, and a little over a third of the undecideds, and she's in the run-off.
