I think she is going to have a very hard times since the sate has weather the recession so well.eople hate to leave a good thing that gives them prosperity.Human nature.I like HBH but she is really a poor speaker and debate for a executive position lus Perry has shown his strength.
she has a good story to tell. i would consider voting for her except for the religious zealot part of her story. doesn't any candidate at least tolerate gay folk in texas? why can't there ever be a fiscal conservative, socially liberal candidate in this state? is that too much to ask?
What made you think she doesn't tolerate gays? Is it because she is religious? I dont know her stance on gay marriage.

when they start crowing about the "sanctity of life", it usually means that they don't care much for gay folk. but i suppose that she could be different.
Medina is getting more publicity. She has a great plan to do away with property taxes which I agree with. By having property taxes each year the government owns your house, not you. A one time 12 percent payment. Property taxes are very high here. I currently pay $2800 on a $125k house.
KLIF, the Wells Report, did a good interview with her. You can hear them here.
Very simple. Whomever can control the legislature, and the one that can effectively lower property taxes will win.
Almost every Texan hates their high property taxes.
Ilike her but peery has done a good job as witnessed by the state of the stae especailly duirng this recession.
Texas debt went from $12 billion in 2000, to $31 billion in 2008 under Perry.
"In 2005, Perry gave a $15 million handout of taxpayer money to the nation's largest savings and loan. Again, the promise was jobs. Instead, WaMu foundered and federal regulators had to step in (and ultimately get swallowed up by JPMorgan Chase) - but only after the ailing lender's political fund made campaign contributions to Perry.
As for the promised jobs, A Perry spokesman said the governor still hopes they'll come. And if they don't? The spokesman says they'll just have to pay back the money -- presumably with federal bailout dollars."
