Via PPP:

Could the Republican primary for Governor in Texas end up in a runoff between Rick Perry...and Debra Medina? Medina is coming on strong and polls now at 24%, just four points behind Kay Bailey Hutchison's 28%. Perry continues to hold a double digit advantage at 39%.
In related news, Dan Riehl takes Sarah Palin to task for supporting Gov. Rick Perry:
It looks like another instance where that $100k in so-called TP money Palin dropped in her PAC won't be supporting the Tea Party candidate in the race for the Texas Governorship. Between Palin's already having disappointed some Tea Partiers in KY, the above, and her stumping for John McCain, some Tea Party folks might start wondering just whose side she's on.
