I wouldn’t count Dewhurst out at all. He has the support of all but one Republican state senator. People in TX have at least mostly heard of him, and that means a lot.
The only folks who will be voting in the runoff are hardcore. Maybe a bit more here in Smith County as we have a pretty hot High Sheriffs race runoff too.
How big an impression did the “Senators” endorsement make on you?
Was originally a bit on the fence until I dug into the facts on dirty-dog Cruz helping the Chinese rip off a poor US businessman. That told me all I needed to know about Dewhurst. I'm OK with Dewhurst as Lite Gov. his half RINO compromising works better there.
