When the two top Texas political heavyweights squared off in the first GOP gubernatorial debate of the primary in Denton on Thursday, viewers likely expected a clash of ideas and issues.
Instead, what they got was a preening and smirking Gov. Rick Perry on the offense with one-liners, a defensive and strained Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison sidestepping volatile issues like abortion, and a political neophyte who came across as the only straight shooter in the studio.
Debra Medina, a nurse by trade and the former Republican Party chair of Wharton County, often seemed the adult in the room, refereeing a quarrel between two children. At one point Medina, frequently a bystander in the crossfire between the big guns, snapped, “This squabbling isn’t getting us anywhere.”
Debra Medina makes all libertarians proud and may have just become a star in the lone-star state.
Is libertarian rock star and Texas Republican Ron Paul going mainstream?
