The one who isn't leeching off Rick Perry for power.

Yep. Dewhurst has basically tried to claim Perry's record as his own.

Dewhurst isn't a RINO, he's a KBH-style squish- especially on immigration.* There is plenty for conservatives to call out in Dewhurst's record. Calling someone out on squishiness is fine. Calling your opponent a Communist stooge is not IMO.


*And yes, I'm well aware that Perry's stance, sanctuary cities aside, is identical.

Leppert endorses Dewhurst. Somehow I'm not surprised.

The Buckley Rule clearly applies to Cruz here. Don't worry, Dewhurst will still be around... he's running for a fourth term in 2014.

Huh? Been widely rumoured that Perry is running again. Also heard the same about Dewhurst, though resident Texans can correct me if I'm wrong.

Back OT... more shark-jumping from Dewhurst.

DeMint, Palin and Rand Paul are stumping for Cruz today. Santorum's headlining a Dallas rally tomorrow.

My early prediction: Cruz by 10-12.

Hopefully you're right. A Hoosier margin would be awesome. Cheesy

On the money: Mostly his or lobbyists'. Doesn't surprise me. Romney in 2008 was mostly self-funded. Ditto the CEO triplets in 2010. All lost.

Another question: effect on 2014 for both Dewhurst and Perry, if any?

PPP: Cruz ahead decently but not safely. Leads with early and youth voters, Dewhurst w/seniors. Final poll out late tomorrow.

PPP topline: Cruz 52, Dewhurst 42. "Very clear trend" per Jensen. Full results by 11 or so. Cheesy

31% of Texans are more likely to vote for a Palin-backed candidate to 16% for a Perry-backed one. Ouch. Another Oops moment with the grassroots. KBH read the mood better than Perry did.

Perry's already badly damaged. By a 2-1 margin Texas Republicans see his endorsement as a negative and even in April he only led Abbott 50-34. But that doesn't matter because Teepers are fairly happy with Perry's governance as opposed to his endorsements.

He gets the 30-something moderate vote that KBH did in 2010. Being somewhat (i.e. what Collins is to Snowe) more conservative than her, there's some growth room. I'd be surprised if he hit 45.

Can resident Texans explain why the Dem results are faster than the GOP ones? Also, Cruz up 55-45 with less than 1% in.

Per Twitter: Cruz is sweeping the 3 northern counties that Dewhurst needed to win or at least remain competitive. Smiley

Ace of Spades has called it for Cruz. Would like to see more votes tallied and a much bigger margin than 7 points before jumping for joy.

I'm at Politico, not SOS. Usually Politico's the quickest but if there's a faster source here I'll gladly switch.

Jim: here. http://www.politico.com/2012-election/map/#/Senate/2012/Primary/TX

Reg: The urban vote hasn't come in yet, so maybe it'll get wider once that starts getting tallied.

Yep. Not just me: Phil, Jbrase and others here are also Cruz fans. I've been following this race since KBH announced her retirement 18 months ago and am ecstatic right now! Cheesy Just want to see a bigger margin.
