#1 Perry deserves another term. Wonder why he's seldom mentioned as 2012 presidential material?

Palin came down to Texas and campaigned with him. Don't be surprised if they both end up on the 2012 ticket as running partners.

#3 Medina is toast. She waffled on the 'troofer' question and killed any chance she had. Too bad, a bunch of folks liked her stand on property taxes and other issues. Oh, she also has a bit of Ronulan taint clinging to her.

#4 I listened to the segment on the Beck show, after it was all done - one of the other SA Tea Party people sent it to me. She answered the question in the worst way possible: there is no other respectable answer to his question other than "No," or "Hell, no!" She had a lot of credibility up until that minute, even though many of her more-fervent local supporters are the kind Libertarians usually called "Ronulans." KBH has no chance among Tea Partiers - they view her as a RINO of the worst kind. Medina would have cleaned up as an outsider-insurgent candidate, without a taint of being a long-term incumbent - but she blew it by waffling on the 'truther' question. Either you are ready for prime time, and prepared to answer questions without equivocating - or not. Glenn Beck could hardly be termed hostile media, when it comes to new conservatives, either. To give Perry credit, early on he saw the Tea Party as a crowd he wanted to get out in front of; I think he was perhaps one of the first politicians to realize that the Tea Parties could be a major force. He has some dirty laundry, as regards toll roads (long local story)though. I am thinking that a lot of Texan Tea Partiers are going to vote for him as the least worst option.

#6 You're welcome, B - do you want to post a review on Amazon? The Trilogy is becoming a locally popular-interest read, but seriously, I need all the help I can get!
