Texas Teabagger Candidate Calls Governor Perry “”Jumpy, Fidgety Frat Boy “

I must concede one point to the teabaggers.  They are making Republican primaries mighty interesting.  The latest such example is the truly engaging race for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in Texas.  The teabagger candidate, Debra Medina, is racing uphill and gaining some ground.  But as in other contests around the nation Medina finds loud and snide remarks the best way to secure some press.  Her strongest slugs have been aimed at incumbant Gov. Rick Perry.

Mrs. Medina is critical of both Mr. Perry and Ms. Hutchison, calling them “two sides of the same coin.” But she has reserved some of her sharpest jabs for the governor, whom she described in an interview as the “jumpy, fidgety frat boy sitting on stage with me two weeks ago.”

In response to Mrs. Medina’s remark, Catherine Frazier, a spokesman for the governor, said: “Under Gov. Perry’s leadership, Texas is the strongest state in the nation. If that is what she thinks about where Texas is headed, that’s unfortunate.”

The question is if Medina can lure enough voters to her column come primary day, and force a run-off with one of the others contenders.  Also vying for the nomination is U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Anything can happen, but I suspect Rick Perry wins the nomination.
