Looks like Cruz has it!!!

Now, when he wins the Senate seat, we need to hold hs feet to the fire.

Get on Cornyn, also.

What do the polls look like for this race, right now, (R) versus (D)?

Is the Yarborough who lost the (D) nomination by any chance related to the infamous Yarborough whose ego compelled Kennedy to go down to Dallas and get killed?

Cruz is a shoo-in in November.

Last I found from April is Cruz 44%, Sadler 34%.

And this Yarbrough is black.

In a Statewide election it's highly unlikely Texas will send a Democrat to the Senate. Cruz should win by a comfortable margin.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Yes it IS a great day for conservatives, the Harvard trial lawyer gets to go to the beltway where he belongs and the basketball playing rodeo hall of famer gets to stay in charge of Texas where he belongs. If Dewhurst was really the moderate Cruz claimed people would have voted him to the senate to because he would have less control over what happens in Texas there.

As George Will points out: "On 99 percent of U.S. Senate business, Cruz and Dewhurst probably would vote alike".

I cant wait until 2018 when the tea party tries to unseat the "moderate" Cruz because of 3 or 4 compromise votes he will have to make.
