Van de Putte vs. Patrick could be an upset.
The Republican Establishment does not like Dan Patrick for precisely that reason - he could create a "Pete Wilson Moment" in Texas and cede a statewide office to the Democrats.
Some of Dan Patrick's baggage has already come out. There's bound to be more. Some of it will come out during the run-off. But if Patrick wins the nomination, the Republicans could very well throw away a gimme race the same way Indiana Republicans did with Dick Lugar's seat. Even in Texas, there is such a thing as a bridge too far, and if anyone will manage to cross that bridge, it's Dan Patrick.
