Unfortunately she has no chance in hell of winning. Her platform is too radical for the moderates.
Voting for her could very well enable KBH to make up ground on Perry.
Yes but voting for the candidate you truly believe in is always better than voting the lesser of two evils.

Perry has had 9 years to earn the voters respect.

As for whether or not she has a chance, that's a sore subject with me. People should not be deciding that she has no chance this early. That's a politician trick, and it is what they do to get votes concentrated. I tell people to vote their conscience. Any other method gets us what we've gotten. Change starts locally, and there's nothing more local than YOU.
It has nothing to do with politicians and everything to do with reality. This is no different than the Ron Paul supporters getting upset because he didn't get this or that. The guy was never going to win, or even get 10% of the vote.
Until the mainstream supports real conservatives you run the risk of allowing an even worse candidate to win by a narrow margin. It's the Ross Perot effect.
I wish we could have Ron Paul as President, or Debra Medina as Governor. I think they'd do a good job, but unfortunately the rest of the voting populace doesn't believe in these people. There is no momentum for Medina, and Paul had alot of momentum, but got utterly destroyed in the debates.
Medina needs to adhere to conservative ideology but she will have to push for the middle stream. She has a VERY uphill fight.
Regardless I hope to meet her at Rodbender's function. I've talked to Rick Perry a number of times, so I'd like to meet what else is on the table.
Why are so many talking about splitting the vote? She's running for the Republican nomination. If she wins, we have an excellent candidate. If she loses, we still have a very good candidate in Perry and a decent one in Bailey-Hutchison. IMHO
decent one in Bailey-Hutchison. IMHO
KBH worries me. Being the cynic I am, I question her motives.
and another 20 million dollars wasted of tax payers money.
