I went on Cruz’s FB page and congratulated him and cautioned him to not drink the kook-aid when he gets to DC and to remember the Tea Party that sent him there.

The Cruz win this evening was a tremendous feat, accomplishment and victory. Ted Cruz, virtually came out of nowhere, and with guts, focus, determination, drive, but little money, he forced a runoff with Dewhurst in the early primary. His win this evening shows, not only the mood of Texans...but the mood of the vast majority of “all” Americans to defeat Barack Hussein Obama and the entire anti-American Democrat Party.

The defeat of RINO David Dewhurst and the defeat of dignity suffered by not too bright Governor Rick Perry is only scratching the surface as to the impact that will destroy Obama and the Democrat Party this coming November.

Combine this victory tonight with the recent victory of Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin and you get the picture of what’s coming this November. My advice to you is not to listen to any of the Obamabot media. They would not know the reality of the world if it hit them directly in the face. Stay on the blogs, do not heed any polls until after Labor Day!!!

As for Louisiana, under your great Governor, Bobby JIndal, Obama is already toast before one Louisiana vote is cast. You can be certain, not one southern state will vote for Obama. Romney will carry every southern state easily!!! My current prediction is Obama carries only between eight & twelve states, if that many, and loses in a massive landslide defeat!!! I could go on....but it would too long and boring, most likely!!!

RCP now (w/58% counted) has the score at 55.0% to 45.0% - a full ten percent spread!

By the way, who are the other TP candidates who prevailed up and down the TX ticket today?

Lead just went to double digits and still growing! Cruz up by just over 10 points with 58% of the vote in.

A year ago no one knew who Ted Cruz was. He was aligned with some Tea Party groups, but no one was paying him any attention......For Cruz to force a run-off against the well-entrenched Dewhurst was a surpurise. Now to win it....is huge.

It just NEEDS to be said again! TEXAS is THE BEST in Butt-kicking!

Down side for my Texas friends. Dohurt is going to be a real (rhymes with) brick over the next two years. He'll try and give away half of Texas to he and Perry's buds if the legislature will let him. He needs to jest step down from the LT Gov position and go home.

10% spread....woo flippin' hoo!!

Not sure if TP endorsed any down ballot candidates...wish they would've.

In my district we voted for the grass roots conservative vs. local "establishment" RINO for state rep. That's a good thing.

"The Tea Party, flying at Mach 3 under the government controlled media radar, popped up and deployed a Cruz missile over Texas. The missile evaded the dark clouds of negative ad flak and deployed with maximum effect over the liberal infested City of Austin, Texas. Knee deep in pocket Constitutions, dazed liberals now wander the streets of Austin wondering what the words mean."

BTTT

Hopefully all the people who had fits about those of us pointing out Perry’s issues will now take another look at their Governor and MAKE HIM govern like a conservative rather than a crony enabler.

Because Perry was solidly in the Dewhurst camp from everything I’ve read so far.
