Actually Dewhurst has not been in Texas politics that long. He is not a career politician, never ran for public office until he was fifty-three years old, after making it in business.
He is a proven conservative and we are lucky to have him. Cruz might be conservative but he has never proven it in an elective office where you have to show yourself by engaging in the legislative and budgeting process and casting votes.

My opinion - Dewhurst works behind the scenes and is responsible for our having Strauss as Senate leader. In his current position he is able to wield a great deal of power and certainly has pushed legislation which moves Texas further left than true Conservatives want to be. There is also evidence that Dewhurst’s staff is the source of not totally truthful comments about Cruz. Texas deserves at least one Conservative Senator - we have a chance to replace RINO Kay Bailey in November by voting for Cruz. Then in 2014 Cornyn needs to go.
