Looks like Dewhurst stepped on his own crank with all the negative ads.

Cruz 53.9
Dohurt 46.1

“Texas folks, this is going to be a big mega victory night for Ted Cruz and the Texas tea party. Cruz has already won the election, but.....the big conservative counties have not reported yet,”

Yep - now showing Cruz by 50,000.

Have you been taking note of the Democrat Party Senate primary total number of votes? Shucks, the Democrat party may as well not run a ticket in Texas this November. if the numbers are this horrible with out Obama running tonight, with Obama att the head of the Democrat ticket, the Democrat “traitor” Party could be just about wiped out on November 6, 2012!!!

Dummy Dems should have broomed Obama by forcing him to submit his resignation. Too late, low life, dirt bag Democrat buffoons. Now...go down with the would be destroyer of the American Republic!!!

For example
Voter A signs the register, then votes. Precient reports
how many votes were cast etc. Then the counting begins.


I don’t think it works that way. I doubt they are linked up in real time with state SOS office. True at the end of the voting day the local precinct knows how many voters entered the booth. But they may or may not have voted in a particular race whereas they voted in other races on the ballot. I don’t think they report that number you are referencing until they report the total results. JMO.

Historical turnout numbers in Texas:

It is good to see Warren Chisum losing to Christi Craddick for Railroad Commissioner. Another supporter of RINO Joe Straus, Speaker of the Texas House goes down!!! YEA!!! Chisum refused to criticize the $2.4 billion CO2 sequestration project planned in Ector County to help alleviate “global warming.”

Also, it is great to see the 10 Commandments Judge, John Devine winning the race for Supreme Court Justice, Place 4.

But I mostly pray that he does not get co-opted because he’s going to be getting hit hard from all but the TEA side.

I don't see this guy getting co-opted. He has repeatedly said he can't wait to join the "other 5" conservative senators (DeMint, Lee Toomey etc) and when he spoke to our tea party group he said he will IMMEDIATELY go to work helping others like himself to get elected. He repeatedly talks about getting a "critical mass" of conservatives in the senate, and with just a few more added to the 5 conservative senators it will really shake the senate up. I do not see him getting co-opted. He also challenged us to fire his butt immediately at the next election if he does not do exactly that.

Couple this Cruz victory tonight, with the recent victory of Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin, and it does not take a brain surgeon to tell you, Obama and his Democrat Party America haters are going down, come November, 6, 2012

From your keyboard to God's ears!! I like what you're talkin' about!!

I hope he does. I don’t know much about him but what I have read is all good stuff. I am just gun shy because the 10 crew was all gung ho too. And that quickly changed.

I hope he keeps his intentions. I want him to succeed.

I heard Cruz the other week on Levin’s show and immediately donated to his campaign. He came across as sincere and would campaign for others like him to get elected.
