Below is some data on the turnout.
2014 Texas Primary: 1st Day Early Voting Totals for Harris County [breakdown by party]
Stockman strikes me as a good guy.
I think Stovall is perhaps better.
That is the idea. Force Cornyn into a runoff and beat him with a Tea Party candidate.
And here’s primary vote split by key county for 2012 Senate race when Dewhurst was the RINO favorite:
2012 Dewhurst Vote % in Senate Primary By Select Large Counties:
Denton 31%
Collin 31%
Dallas 33%
Tarrant 34%
Montgomery 38%
Bexar 41%
Travis 41%
Williamson 43%
Fort Bend 44%
Harris 46%
Brazoria 46%
Galveston 47%
Lubbock 48%
State Average 45%
Remaining vote = Anyone But Dewhurst

Between them they’ll keep Cornyn under 50%.
No bias there.
Stockman must scare the %$^@# out of state-controlled media.
Pretty stupid.
BTTT!
Cornyn is the main threat to Cornyn. This rapid, compressed 8 week campaign is a referendum on Cornyn, period. If the base is pissed-off enough, he’s gone. What may save him is the lack of a real opponent. Some voters need to vote FOR someone, not just AGAINST the incumbent.Best case, they force a run-off..if they don’t, they’ll hold him to just above 50%, and watch the effect that has on Miss, Tenn, SC, and KY..
What do you bet when Cornyn loses, the GOPe doesn’t support the guy who beats him? When that happens, we had all better pay attention.
Your opinion.
I thought it to be pretty clever.
Does he demand to be treated as "queen" ?
Does he believe American astronauts landed on Mars?
Does he believe that stationing Marines on Guam will "cause the island to tip over" ?
Does he believe that American soldiers raped and terrorized Iraqi civilians?
Does he believe that Americans need to be saved from "job lock" ?
Fixed.
I love it when they give you the judgement right there in the title. No need to even read the article.
“That is the idea. Force Cornyn into a runoff and beat him with a Tea Party candidate.”
Oh, by all means, nominate a ‘crazy’ candidate, who can’t raise money, and who runs an incompetent campaign. What a brilliant plan to win back the Senate.
“What do you bet when Cornyn loses, the GOPe doesn’t support the guy who beats him?”
It won’t be the first time. The GOPe has just become a wing of the dimoKKKRAT party. We will just have to do all we can to overcome it.
I really hate to see this election end. Amnesty will be shoved down the throats of the American people as soon as the last vote is counted.
I just pulled the trigger for Stockman at lunch, feeling good about runoff chances.
You mean like the Alaska Senate race when the GOPe rallied behind the primary loser, Mur-COW-ski?
