I don’t think that is biased; it’s reporting a fact. See the below extract from this linked article.

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/11/04/Tea-Party-Takes-Wendy-Davis-Senate-Seat-Konni-Burton-Wins

“...The Burton win inches Republicans closer to an upper legislative chamber supermajority. According to a rule in the Texas Senate, two-thirds of the 31 member Senate, which equals 21 senators, must agree before a bill gets to the floor for debate. Burton’s win gives the Republicans 20 seats and puts that supermajority goal into a visible range....”

The good news is not just that Konni Burton is a Republican but that SHE’S A TRUE TEA PARTY REPUBLICAN.

Hopefully over on the House side of the Texas legislature, once the new legislators take office, the conservatives will be able to remove the RINO Straus from his leadership position (to which he was elected by the ‘RATS in alliance with a small handful of RINOs).
