Texas GOP Senate Runoff

The conservative star, not the slimy moderate toad.

From the little I've seen of this race (haven't really paid attention to the Texas Senate elections), Dewhurst doesn't even seem all that moderate, and is really slimy. And no Democrat is going to win here, so I guess I'm rooting for Cruz.

How "Tea Party" is Cruz?  Is he a true believer like DeMint?  Or someone who'll probably try to calibrate his message to serve ambitions for higher office, a la Rubio?  Is Cruz the type of candidate who could be the "diversity" pick on the VP shortlist for the 2016 GOP presidential nominee, a la Rubio in 2012?  Or is it too early to tell?

He can't be on the ticket unless we do some tweaking with the Constitution: he was born in Canada.

But wasn't he born to an American citizen mother? If he becomes popular enough, I suspect that the GOP will go by the birthright citizenship interpretation.
