Huge, massive upset.

Wow!

I've been watching this race (since I spend time in Corpus). Along with "Goodnight, Chet" happening in TX-17, it's great to see another entrenched Democrat lose a house seat in Texas.

I'd surmise that the retired military vote in the area was a plus for Blake Farenthold.

I’m watching TX 23. Canseco(R) ahead of Rodriguez(D) incumbent, but I find it odd that Val Verde County is reporting 0% of it’s precincts..

I’d heard he was in trouble, but wow is right.

Well, that’s what you get when you call for a boycott of your own state.

Nice! Will there be a recount? What’s the percentage on the win?

Finally, Val Verde has 17 of it’s 18 precincts reporting in.
Canseco only took about 40% of Val Verde County, but it was enough with the leads he had in Bexar & other Counties.

Another Dem House Seat goes R!

YEA!!!!!
Watched the results all night and it was tight most of the time. Cameron County also kept our incumbent Republican county judge Cascos by about 80 votes.

The Ortiz dynasty is over. Both Ortizes lost tonight! Solly Jr. got beat in his race to be reelected to the TX legislature.

Texas is kicking some serious @ss. Down ballot is looking pretty good. We might just make some progress this next session.

Isn’t this ‘Ducky Pajamas’ Fahrenthold, the grandson of Texas Democrat legend ‘Sissy’ Fahrenthold?
