Republicans Stand for More Than what Rick Perry Offers

Where do you go tomorrow (0.00 / 0)

or maybe in six weeks, when Medina (most likely) gets beat by the GOP establishment candidates? Will you 'come home' to the Republicans or are you looking at the Libertarians or another option?

Tomorrow, I hope to be helping Debra Medina defeat Rick Perry in (0.00 / 0)

the runoff.  

There can be little doubt that Rick Perry will not win the nomination outright today, and there can be equally little doubt that he will be the frontrunner in that runoff.

Kay Hutchison appeals largely to the same base as Perry, and Debra Medina appeals to a different, more energized base.

I think the outcome of today's race is probably forseeable, but it is not definitely set in stone.  I believe that there is some chance (a possibility more than a probability) that Debra Medina will squeak past Kay Hutchison to take the last position in the runoff.

My plans for tomorrow remain contingent on the voters of Texas.

Let me rephrase (0.00 / 0)

Once the votes from the RUNOFF are all counted, and IF your candidate doesn't prevail, what do you do think you will do then?

As for tonight, I think your candidate has a shot at living to fight another round, if only because of the increase in first time primary voters. I think a lot of Dems are crossing over for KBH, which may be enough to prevent Medina from pulling off the shocker, but we'll know soon enough. I'm just hoping Perry repeats at 39% and I never again have to hear the McLaughlin Group referring to him as a 'popular and successful' governor when discussing 2012 presidential candidates.

I will cross that bridge if and when the time comes. You can bet I (0.00 / 0)

will be supporting Debra Medina if that is an option, and you can also bet that I will not be supporting Rick Perry under any circumstances.  Beyond that, the future remains unwritten.

Fair enough (0.00 / 0)

Keep us posted. Good to hear from a Republican that doesn't just repeat talking points.
