Governor Rick Perry is likely to get most of the votes but the issue is whether he will get enough to avoid a run-off versus either Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchenson or Debra Medina. Some Medina comments during the campaign caught attention and the ire of some conservatives including talk show host Glen Beck. Beck has been a strong supporter of the tea party movement and many are supporting Medina's candidancy. Joe Paggs takes calls from 6-10pm et and I'll talk over at 10pm et.
- My latest theory on why the dems are going ahead with health care despite anger from voters is that the democratic leadership believes the voting public will reward them later. Yes, some dems might lose their jobs in the next election but eventually the electorate will like government run healthcare. I'm not sure they are correct in this but it makes stopping this more difficult.
- Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander did well in repeating President Obama's words against him during the health care summit.
