		<description>P.P.S. I do however agree that by redistributing Hutchison&#039;s power to pro-lifers such as Medina, the pragmatists will be forced to see they can get more power when they are pro-life, as you put it, &quot;thus giving us the weight we need to see real change.&quot; What has concerned me is that possibility of distracting the vote away from Perry. Don&#039;t get me wrong, there are a lot of things I like about Medina (ie. she is pro-life), I&#039;m just less thrilled about some (other) gray areas. 
 
I am also pleased to conclude that considering Hutchison is, as you clearly pointed out, &quot;one of the best known Texas politicians ever,&quot; Medina performed pretty well.  
 
Once again, Thank You for this article, it has given me a lot to ponder. </description>

		<description>While I can&#039;t completely agree with this article (mostly because I am wondering if it might be based partly on a misunderstanding about where Medina stands on some other important issues), I still found this article to be very informative, interesting, and well written. I also think it was a rather risky move, but I appreciate the fact that in donating your vote to Medina in the primary, you ended up redistributing some of Hutchison&#039;s power, giving it to Medina and the pro-life movement.  
 
I might not agree with ALL of Medina&#039;s philosophies as I understand it (though I do agree substantially on the whole of a lot of them), however, I still wish Medina would run for another office as long as it doesn&#039;t involve trying to take Perry&#039;s place (ie. she would make a nice replacement for dog-gone-it Loyd Doggit&#039;s spot come November).  
 
P.S. &quot;So long as tax payers are being forced to fund abortions, separation of church and state does not exist because in doing this, the government is violating the rights of the people to practice what they believe if and when they are against the practice of abortion (this being an intrusion and violation of conscience). Our government must not use OUR MONEY to violate OUR MORALS!&quot; -Sincerely, An American Pro-life Taxpayer [PLEASE PASS IT ON] </description>

		<description>hmm, so the 9/11 truther answer or lack of answer isnt an issue for you?  I liked her fine before that, although I think Perry is doing a good job and there is no need to fix something if its not broken, but Medina seems like she says the right things, but the people around her are not the ones I want influencing someone in the govt. seat.  </description>

		<description>Excellent insights. What we&#039;re seeing from the GOP right now is an attempt to take over the Tea Party. It&#039;s happening all over the country. We just thwarted an attempt here in SC - the GOP backed off when the Tea Party planned to protest their meeting. :-) </description>

		<description>I will vote for Medina because I have become a single issue voter.  My issue is honesty.  If all three candidates were standing in front of me at the poll, I would vote for the one who has never lied to me.  Only one candidate meets that criteria; Debra Medina. </description>
