Fritsch joins a field that, in addition to Abbott, includes Tom Pauken, Miriam Martinez and Larry Kilgore. Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor last Thursday.
But there she was, Fritsch - a striking black woman, 6-feet tall, not inluding heels, standing before an exuberant crowd of some 75 supporters - announcing her candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor.
The left would go batsh*t crazy if Texas had black female tea party conservative for Governor. I'm in.
Just a token, and only being supported so they can hide behind her obviously. That was the only reason Cain got any traction remember?
Herman Cain was a self made man and bootstrap success story who came up from his own hard work, he was not a "token." He got shot down because people made a big deal about affairs he had. Damn straight it DOES help to be black and conservative, because black conservatives are in a unique position to f*ck the left's sh*t up. Far more than any insider white GOP'er. That's just the way it is. And these days I'm to the point where I hate the old GOP establishment more than I do the democrats. I'd much rather see an outsider tea party candidate make it into office.
Woah Woah, I'm on your side. I loved Herman Cain from back when I heard his first radio show on WSB in '08
Sorry sarcasm doesnt go well over the internet. I agree I'd rather see the government full of democrats then establishment republicans. Then the democrat name could get dragged through the mud without their willing scapegoat at their side.
I suggest you do a little more reading on Abbott. While I doubt hes squeaky clean, no one whos been in politics a long time is but he gets the job done well and isn't slimeball like Perry. Hes an even more staunch conservative, sued the Obama admin over a dozen times, more pro 2A than Perry, hes all around a great person. As AG he has done a lot of good, and kept people who were evening thinking of infringing on the constitution(Austin city council with the no gun show ban) in check. If I remember right he told them theyd have a "double barrel lawsuit" on their hands. If Abbott wasn't running Id give serious consideration to voting for this lady but Abbott has experience and IMO an impeccable track record.Who is "they"?

Perry is a notorious back room dealer / pay to play politician. I don't know much about Abbot at all, but he's been in politics for a long time and I assume as the Texas attorney general, he is plugged into the behind the scenes money game, and knows who's palms need to be greased to get elected. It'll be real hard for Fritsch to overcome that.
I hope she doesn't split the tea party vote to allow a rino in.
she would have my vote, but we can't let it split republican votes and let Wendy sneak it...the only Wendy's i want is what comes out of my butt after eating.
I don't think half the voting public knows we have a primary system so there are only three candidates on ballot(usually).She is running for Republican Nomination, not as a third party candidate.
