How Does Rick Perry Beat Bill White Without Moderates and Without Medina Conservatives?

A Rick Perry win in the Republican primary — whether today or in a runoff to come — coupled with a few successful Tea Party challengers in Republican State House races will mean that moderates will have officially been kicked out of Rick Perry’s Republican Party. Meanwhile, Debra Medina supporters are steadfast in their hatred of Rick Perry — especially after he used Glenn Beck to attack her on the air, through the $286,400 in donations Clear Channel CEO and Chairman Lowry Mays gave Rick Perry in the last decade.

So then I ask you — how can Rick Perry run the risk of losing two flanks within his own Party (Medina conservatives and Hutchison moderates) and still beat Bill White in November?
