A friend of moderates and the state establishment is more like it. We're seeing this pattern emerge fairly often in GOP primaries since 2010: a star candidate supported by the national intelligentsia in alliance with the TP (what I call "fusionist") v. a local-establishment candidate with moderately conservative views.

Dewhurst wil probably start debating in the New Year- the media pressure will become too great.

The Democrat (Sanchez) appears to have dropped out. Not that it matters.

But an extra few months for the Republicans does. Polling is a total crapshoot, but by all indications Cruz is handily winning the ground war.

Well at least they'll be able to run a warm body against whoever the Republicans nominate (Hopefully Cruz).

So is this Tara Hollis or Alvin Greene level of desperation?

Apparently. I mean, the Democratic bench in Texas consists of, who, Bill White and no-one else? Oh well, it's not like this was going to be a pickup anyway.

EDIT: Wait, isn't Chet Edwards out of a job? Someone call him quick and keep the margin of loss sem-respectable.

Democrats can always vote for Leppert or Dewhurst. Smiley Especially Leppert. Dewhurst is more a KBH clone (minus her pro-choice position).

In continuing with news that won't affect the outcome of this race at all, former football player, current ESPN personality, and all-around smarmy jackass Craig James is entering the Republican primary.

Yep. Given how late the primary now is, Cruz should have a smooth ride over Deweyhurst.

Cruz does indeed have the momentum. I would like to see a new poll here though; IIRC, the last few have showed widely differing numbers for Dewhurst in particular.

A fact that will only become more widely known as the unsuspecting Texas populace Googles him. Perfectly Santorumesque.

I wish Chris Bell would run, or Bill White. Sad

Hubbard seems to be the only choice id support. *sigh*

Cruz is now outraising both Dewhurst and Leppert (who's not a threat anyways) in funds- and Deweyhurst is in debt to boot despite most of his cash being his own. Tomorrow's debate should be fun.

Now we know why Dewhurst ducked all those debates- Cruz is wiping the floor with him. Plus Dewhurst kept stuttering, speaking so slowly you'd think he's drugged, and had a couple of 30-second pauses before answering.

PPP says: Dewhurst 36%, Cruz 18%

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_TX_0117.pdf

Cruz is only at +1 in favorability (15-14), while Dewhurst is at +22 (41-19). So it looks like Cruz still has some work to do. I was expecting him to fare a little better.

Name ID, name ID, name ID. Dewhurst knows that once name ID equalizes and it becomes an ideological referendum, he'll share the 2010 fate of the woman he wants to replace. Runoff's not till June and Cruz has guaranteed himself a slot in there.

Cruz has now pulled even with Dewhurst in fundraising.
