Texas GOP Senate Runoff

[nclib]

County map, anyone?

I'm a bit disappointed about Cruz winning, even if their voting records would have been similar. It's not a good situation for the Dems for the far-right to get energized (unless it would result in another Angle, O'Donnell, etc.). Also, another token minority GOPer helps them pretend they aren't anti-minority (though Cruz is Cuban which is the only minority group that has been consistently GOP).

Here's the actual results. Some counties (white) are outstanding. Purple counties tied.

Looked up the population figures and Cruz won the 16 most populous counties (Lubbock was Dewhurst's most populated county).
