Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush continues to lead the pack of Republican presidential hopefuls, but one candidate is making moves.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the only GOP hopeful to formally announced his candidacy thus far, has shot up in the rankings in a new CBS News poll. Thirty-seven percent of those surveyed said that they would consider voting for Cruz in March, up 14 points from when the same question was asked a month ago.
By comparison, 51 percent said they would vote for Bush, just two percent higher than did in February.

Sen. Ted Cruz has raised $4 million in the eight days since officially launching his White House bid, his campaign confirmed Wednesday night.
And in a sign of his appeal to grassroots conservatives, his campaign said that 95 percent of the contributions came in amounts of $100 or less.
Cruz, who formally announced his presidential campaign on March 23, remains the only major candidate in either party to officially launch a White House bid. He raised $1 million within a day of his formal announcement, and $2 million within the first three days, according to his campaign. Cruzs campaign said bundlers accounted for one-third of the money raised and that 300 donors maxed out on their contributions to Cruz
Often you have an establishment candidate, usually the moderate, who will be well funded, Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said in a statement. Here we have a candidate who is conservative and can raise money.(continued)

Yes, I can see that I don't bother you a bit.
You are very convincing.....LOLO
But don't go away mad..just... how does that go???
Can’t hold a job?
Yes, I can see that. You are very convincing.
But don't go away mad..just... how does that go???
I’m not mad at all. It’s kind of fun dealing with a whiny adolescent who ought to have become an adult a long time ago.
Keep posting that over and over and eventually someone out there will believe it, I mean Obama got elected.,
Don't go away.....
Well, maybe not.......
My hopes for you in that have always been pretty low,
But there's a saying about casting pearls before swine, maybe someone who is a bit retarded would impress you more than I do,
you know, same minds think alike and such.
Good night, looks like you are fuming and spewing internally, perhaps you may need to learn not to rain on your own parade. Have a good one.
Yes, you are almost reading my mind LOL
Don't go away mad..just... how does that go???
Walker is *absolutely* acceptable (over anything the dems will put up). You just have to find within yourself the tolerance for his flip-flops and “tell you what he thinks you want to hear” political stances.
With an honest frankness and palpable personal integrity unseen in most politicians, more and more folks are turning on to Cruz with each passing day (and poll). And as far as this primary season dance goes, the early candidates have only just walked in the door. We’ve got a loooooong way to go before the last dance is called.
For all we know, neither Walker nor Cruz may come out on top. We still have the mouth-breathing idiot voters like those who continually re-elect the likes of Boehner, McConnell, Graham, etc to contend with. They appear to be staying true to their Pavlovian response and voting like the TV tells them to, which currently seems to be for Bush...
