Excerpt:
So far, the former Wharton County party chairwoman seems content with rallying the 5 percent of Texas Republicans who supported U.S. Rep. Ron Paul for president and agitating for geeky rules to give that faction more power...
Fine.
But does she realize how fast she could become a challenger for governor?
She’s more of a tax cutter than Gov. Rick Perry. She’s more conservative than U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
In a campaign where Hutchison and Perry are likely to muddy each other’s hairdos, Medina can criticize both.
"Rick Perry campaigns like a conservative, but you can’t judge by what he says," Medina said in an interview. "You can only judge what he does."
Obviously, her campaign might pare away conservative Perry voters and help Hutchison.
"They won’t be able to say that if I can move past her and get to second in the polls," Medina said. "Then it’s just me against Rick Perry."
And some constructive criticism
But almost before her speech, she was asking guests to sign petitions demanding an arcane party rule change requiring candidates to support or oppose the Republican platform.
She ought to be talking about Texas. Not party paperwork.
