[Ms.] Medina...appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio show last week and fumbled a question about whether she agreed with conspiracy theorists who think the Bush administration was involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard,” she said. “There’s some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all the evidence there.”

On the hustings last week, Ms. Medina took great pains to avoid being labeled out of touch, declaring to one audience after her remarks about Sept. 11 were broadcast, “I am not a flake.”

Gun enthusiasts love her opposition to all federal gun laws. She won many over when she lamented in a recent debate that current law did not allow her to take her pistol, which she keeps in a zippered case in her car, into the grocery store.
Where does this woman buy her groceries, Dodge City? What is she so afraid of, that creepy guy behind the meat counter? That pimply kid in produce?
I can honestly say I have never felt the need to bring a pistol into a grocery store.

“I am not a crazy person,” she said.
Sorry, lady, but no reasonable person would agree that you should be allowed to bring a gun into a grocery store. You are a crazy person.

Recent polls have shown that Ms. Medina’s support among likely primary voters is in the double digits, and some surveys have her close to edging out [Senator Kay Bailey] Hutchison for second place.
There is a growing belief among Republican strategists here that if Ms. Medina can control the damage from Thursday’s radio gaffe, she might force a runoff (emphasis mine).
It's Texas, remember?
