For a conservative Texan seeking national office, it could hardly get better than this: In a recent 48-hour span, Ted Cruz, a candidate for next year’s Republican Senate nomination for the seat being vacated by Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison, was endorsed by the Club for Growth PAC, FreedomWorks PAC, talk-radio host Mark Levin and Erick Erickson of RedState.com. And Cruz’s most conservative potential rival for the nomination decided to seek a House seat instead.

He was quite impressive.

I value George Will’s opinion about as much as E.J. Dionne’s.
I really like most of what Will says and I'm a staunch conservative. What am I missing?
“I value George Will’s opinion about as much as E.J. Dionne’s”
Agreed.
This Texan is campaigning for Michael Williams.
Yep, Cruz (Hispanic) for Senate and Williams (Black) for the house!!! Aces!!!
“I really like most of what Will says and I’m a staunch conservative. What am I missing?”
George Will is a Beltway Insider and “House Republican” for the liberal media.
You don't have FReeperus Ignoramusis.
Who is George Will referring to when he says Cruz’ most conservative rival will seek a house seat instead? It’s comments like that which destroy Will’s credibility, since Michael Williams is still very much in the hunt.
“Ted Cruz...”

Litmus test #1: Absolutely no mention of “addressing the needs of Hispanic-Americans”, or ANY other hyphenations.
... I will say, however, that Club for Growth’s endorsement means much more.
As a conservative, Geroge Will is a Tory.
Are you aware that Williams has decided not to run for Senate, but rather for the new House seat in Tarrant County?
Interesting how out-of-staters are chiming in on a Texas senate race.
Like the out-of-staters who drink Perry’s koolaide.
Cruz is a good guy; Perry is not. No telling yet who wins my votes next year. There is no perfect candidate.
According to Will, Palin”s not up to taking the nuclear keys. Where’s that A-hole been? Obama has done the free world so wrong with those nuclear “keyes” that we will probably never recover and he’s putting down Palin???
George Will is a perfect illustration of that great British expression “too clever by half.”
This Texan is campaigning for Michael Williams.”
It is my understand that Michael Williams is not going to run for the Senate but will instead run for one of the new House seats where he will likely be much more successful. If he is successful then maybe he can run against Cornyn.
