Driving back home this Sunday afternoon, I happened to catch the final hour of a talk radio program called Loris Live (sp?) - out of one of the Houston stations. For the entire hour I listened she was constantly requesting calls from anyone who supported Perry or Hutchinson. She'd had nothing but Medina supporters calling in.
For her part, she kept telling her listeners that she really liked Medina, but if the election was held today, she'd hold her nose and vote for Perry. Her reason - Medina's lack of experience. She said she'd like to see Medina run for lower office first - she simply couldn't support someone for the highest political office in our state with no experience.
What was extremely encouraging, about 3/4 of the callers in support of Medina said they were not familiar with the candidate before the debate. They liked what they saw and heard.
When asked about her lack of experience, these callers mostly said that is was only a minor issue, not enough to keep them from supporting her, or, in many cases, considered it a positive.
Finally, in the last 10 minute segment, she got 4 Perry supporters and 1 Bill White supporter. No one called in to support Kay Bailey.
