My preference in someones education is that all other things being equal, highest quality of higher education is a better choice in leadsership and the understanding of and resolution capacity for complex situations. Hands down, Harvard is hard to argue against as “best in USA and maybe a top tie globally.
The “its his turn” guy in the race, reference was more to being a good GOPe guy as Lt. Gov.
Sorry you don’t have a Senator Dewhurst “compadre” here. Do not see much Dewhurst enthusiasm, at least not in East Texas.
Despite all the spin from Dewhurts people, its looking like its Cruz’s to lose.
Depending on who else would throw their hat in the ring, Dewhurt would not be ojectionable moving up one notch when Rick moves on.
Cruz is far more GOP-e than Dewhurst. You probably thought it was the other way around because you did not know Cruz has the Bush endorsement.
As you say, Harvard is a “top tie globally” for the US, but the way is it supposed to work, we would like a Senator with top ties to Texas rather than a “top tie globally”.
It is true that there are activists posting articles in favor of Cruz here on this forum. That is only natural because Cruz has claimed the mantle of the tea-party and accepted the endorsement of Sarah Palin. The vast majority of actual working, involved, busy, Texans familiar with the Lt. Governor’s work and leadership and the results of his legislation passed on the fiscal issues and life issue don’t bother posting to this forum.
I don’t mind being the one person who is setting the record straight in response to the Cruz attack ads accusing Dewhurst of not being a conservative.
As far as spin goes, it takes a lot of spin from the Cruz people to portray Dewhurst as not being conservative, because Dewhurst has an actual record of conservative accomplishment and a military, private sector, and legislative record life of accomplishment to show while Cruz has only campaign promises and his career as a government lawyer and an employee of an international law firm.
You really have no idea what Dewhurst would do in the future, but Dewhurst would make a great Governor if we could get him. I think Texas needs him even more representing the State of Texas in the U.S. Senate.
