>> fayehall “The Republican party is blind and deaf if they don’t pay attention to the mood of the people which is to throw the incumbent out. Note that Odessa’s Republican party is ignoring Medina entirely.”

>> raainy: I am very interested in Medina… I have already experienced Perry and Hutchison and don’t care for a repeat. I am looking forward to hearing more about Medina… I like what she has to say, she certainly has my attention.”

>> bundleofsticks: “Medina is spouting typical populism, and she’s cultivating an “every-man/women” personae.
Don’t get me wrong, I prefer her merely because she hasn’t yet had the opprotunity to lie to me yet like the other two have, but I’m hardly excited by her.

“Personally if I wanted someone “just like me” I’d vote for myself.

“When I get excited about voting it’s because I can see “greatness.” Someone who has a charisma to disarm a crowd, and someone who is more than capible of twisting people’s arms off when the need arises. But most importantly, someone who has a brain in their head and fully understands the complexity of governing.

“I see none of these quality in this woman nor in the other two candidates, and regardless of who gets elected, that person will merely be a corrupt placeholder until some “great” person that we need finally emerges and fills these important roles in government.

“I guess I’m turning my criticisms of Medina into a broader issue here, but honestly, my problem with this Republic in general is that it’s so stagnant. The same morons spouting the same failed solutions to the same apathetic publi(k) day after day.”
