Ironically it was the Legislature, Dewhurst's tool, that doomed him. Had they drawn the map properly the election would have been in February and Cruz would have been lucky to break 20%.

Primaries that early are hilarious and purpose-defeating. Which is of course the point of setting them that early.

Cruz has the grassroots operation and a base of devoted activists - which makes him the safe bet in a run-off election that will definitely be decided by organization and enthusiasm.

Bold prediction: Cruz breaks 60%.

Better than Perry did against KBH? Believe that when I see it.

Weird debate format tonight. Early voting has already started.

PP: You thought Dewhurst's last ad jumped the shark? Check this out. I'd say more but really, really, don't want an infraction.

He isn't doing that because he's ahead. As they say, the best revenge is served cold. Which is what will happen a week from today.

As a Dewhurst supporter, that is DISGUSTING...

David Dewhurst is a desperate man. He's 66 and suffering from an entitlement complex and a severe late-life crisis. He knew that if he lost this primary that he'd be finished. Now that he knows it to be a near certainty, Dewhurst is entering the violent cycle that entitled politicians enter when they are on the verge of large scale rejection: denial. "Everybody LOOK! My opponent defacto murdered this woman's son!"- especially heinous and distasteful, one can only hope that it makes Dewhurst infamous.

I early voted for Cruz this evening. It looks like a landslide is brewing if Dallas and Tarrant counties are any indication.
