DALLAS—An obscure candidate with backing from the "tea party" movement threatens to deny a decisive victory to either Texas Gov. Rick Perry or Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the battle for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Texas.

Little-known Debra Medina made a splash two weeks ago in a televised debate. She criticized the governor for "painting a rosy picture that doesn't exist" about the Texas economy and said her rivals' "squabbling isn't getting us anywhere."

Mrs. Medina "stole the show," said Harvey Kronberg, longtime editor of the Quorum Report newsletter in Austin.

On Friday night, Mrs. Medina will try to prove that her debate showing was no fluke.

than the other two hacks. If Texans vote their concerns she would or could win. Its all about perception. But we did see 30 point leads evaporate in Mass. Anything is possible with an angry electorate. She would serve Texas well.

"The debate will also be streamed live and archived on the Web sites operated by Belo broadcast and cable companies, and on the Web site operated by A. H. Belo Corporation’s newspaper, The Dallas Morning News."

Man we need to get her in office. If she performs like she did in the last debate, I think that it will seal her legitimacy and push her to the front.

Maybe she should bring a bullhorn to the debate just in case they try some of those microphone shenanigans or ignore her :) ....its not like it hasn't been done before to liberty candidates.

No I would not advise her to bullhorn anyone. LOL. The truth is louder than any megaphone, and she speaks it.

Mrs. Medina said her goal was to win the primary, and that victory wasn't out of reach. "I believe we are fighting the very same battle the Founding Fathers fought," she said.


Mrs. Medina is critical of both Mr. Perry and Ms. Hutchison, calling them "two sides of the same coin." But she has reserved some of her sharpest jabs for the governor, whom she described in an interview as the "jumpy, fidgety frat boy sitting on stage with me two weeks ago."
