Strapped for cash? He just raised over $2 million in 3 days? Who else is doing that?

Pray America is waking

“Hugh Hewitt calls him an “intellectual leader.””

Ha!

Hugh Hewitt is not for Ted Cruz, Nor is Cruz a Hewitt favorite.

Salem is decidedly anti-Cruz, anti-Palin and pro GOPe.

A serious candidate for president will have to raise at least $1 million per day between now and election day 2016.

Ted Cruz is going to beat them like a Persian Carpet at Spring cleaning.

They know they're going to get beaten, and badly.

And they are afraid.

The fear is palpable.

Especially because there are those among the left who know they have been deceived by the democrats and will cross over to vote for Ted Cruz.

It keeps the others awake at night.

And fills their dreams with silent screams.

I feel...happy...

Wasn’t Cruz polling at just 3% early on in his Senate race against Dewhurst?

The tortoise and the hare.....Cruz won that race, which is something these naysayers in the GOPe and the dems should worry about.

Wasn’t Reagan behind something like 10 points before he won?

Has there been any time in politics where the polls were correct?

It’s not a rule by any stretch. Money comes in much bigger chunks once a candidate shows early strength. It’s the sobering reality of unlimited government. Based on rising costs and 2012, a presidential candidate might have to raise up to $1 billion in the next 500-600 days.

"Republicans lost the White House in 2008
and again in 2012, because Sen. John McCain and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney
failed to ignite conservative passions."

I haven’t listened to Hugh Hewitt in ages but I instinctively agree with your assessment. HH is just your basic GOPe masquerading as a real conservative. Real conservatives are going to support Ted Cruz. He will get Hewitt’s support only if he wins the GOP nomination.

Ted is the front runner...pay no attention to polls or establishment circle jerks pointing to Zogby.

Cruz is taking so much heat because he has ignited a fire that is spreading fast.

Rush has really been pathetic about pro-amnesty Walker.

I bet Rush walks back quickly on his Walkergasms...he seems to be already shifting to Cruz more

Let’s hope so!

(And since when is he openly admitting to crafting his programming for the GOP donor class?

I voted for Cruz in the Senate primary and general elections, and I have been pleased with his rhetoric and tactics since assuming office. I am, however, wary of the fact - which I just recently learned - that his wife works for Goldman Sachs. Does this concern anyone else?
