Governor Rick Perry has beaten Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison for the nomination of the Republican party for governor of the state. Of interest is the showing of the "tea party" candidate for that office. Debra Medina got 18 % of the vote and was a disappointment to the "tea party" folks. It did not help her cause when she appeared on the radio show of Glenn Beck and said "some very good arguments" could be made "that the US was involved in the 2001 attacks that took down the World Trade Center and killed some 3000 people".
