DEBRA MEDINA is using the Texas GOP governor debate to skyrocket in the Polls.....the race just beginning!!

Before midnight, and within four hours of the end of the January 29, 2010 Texas Gubernatorial GOP candidate debate, unscientific Internet and television station polls, facebook friend increases, and chats show early indications of Debra Medina as gaining the most ground.

Medina's official facebook page count increased by 444 additional friends between 9 a.m. and midnight the day of this second and last Republican debate prior to the March 2, 2010 primary vote.
Perry's facebook friend increase was 72. Hutchinson's site count was raised by 65.

Gov. Rick Perry, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, and most insiders dismissed Medina's campaign for most of 2009.

In July last year, Medina barely had 900 facebook supporters. Six months later Medina had increased her count ten times over.

Many Texans and political analysts were surprised after the first debate when a Rasmussen Report poll released on January 18 revealed a swing with likely Texas Republican voters in Debra Medina's favor. The poll found these standings:

• Perry - 43 percent
• Hutchison - 33 percent
• Medina - 12 percent
• Not sure - 11 percent
