There are going to be at least a dozen candidates in this primary and MW has a good shot at standing out (haha). I think I will vote for him.

[17th Miss Regt]

A progressive African-American senator from Texas? An excellent addition to the Congressional Black Caucus and the Progressive Caucus.

What's that? You say he's a conservative?

Oh! Then another Uncle Tom. Another "lawn jockey for the far right", just like Clarence Tom. (/liberal)

[Allegra]

Texas ping!

I like Michael Williams and would gladly vote for him.

[therightliveswithus]

Go Williams!

[freekitty]

He is our next Senator. He should have already been there.

[MrEdd]

+1

[Smittie]

Go Williams!

Go MICHAEL WIliams! - Not the other RINO Williams.

[MsLady]

Ditto that!!!

[TribalPrincess2U]

I love this guy!

[The Comedian]

He spoke at my local Tea Party rally.

The man *rocks*. I hope he wins.

Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

And when do the racist attacks on him begin?

[manic4organic]

I met him during the campaign season when I was working for a Texas State Rep. candidate. Very nice guy. I believe he has my vote.

bump

[srajan]

I would like to see the most conservative candidate win, and I hope it’s Mr. Williams. We need new people in the Senate to replace the RINO Senators we have now. Willians would be a good start.

Will Black Texas Tea Party Favorite Michael Williams Win Senate Race?

[AuH2ORepublican]

Ladies and gentlemen, behold, the next Senator from the great State of Texas. Michael Williams is a proven conservative who will not “grow in office” like Hutchison did and like Cornyn is well on his way to doing.

Is Ted Cruz also running? Cruz was one of the big names behind the Amicus brief for the McDonald case extending 2nd Amendment protections from state bans.

I hope Williams and Cruz don't run against each other.

[Clintonfatigued]

Michael Williams is the logical choice from both ideological and political perspectives. He’s a strong conservative from a strongly conservative state and is a proven statewide vote-getter. What more could we want?

[AuH2ORepublican]

Unfortunately, both Ted Cruz and Michael Williams are currently running for the Senate. Williams has been pretty much running since 2009 (when Hutchison announced she would resign before the end of the year, and then before the 2010 primary, and then reneged altogether), and I hope that Cruz (who would make a fantastic U.S. Supreme Court Justice, by the way) seeks another office instead.
