Texas Twofer: Tea Partier Forces Runoff; Obama-Backed Congressman (Reyes) Loses Primary
RushLimbaugh.com ^ | May 30, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

By the way, speaking of Texas, a major Democrat has bitten the dust. Here it is. A major upset. "In a major upset, longtime US Rep. Silvestre Reyes has lost the race for the Democratic nomination to retain his congressional seat in far West Texas.

"Reyes lost narrowly to former El Paso city councilman Beto O'Rourke. Reyes appeared to be closing the gap," but he came up short at the end.

He's 67 years old, first elected to Congress 1966, and he received a rare primary endorsement last month from none other than The One, Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm. So coattails, anybody? Obama with a rare primary endorsement, and as is somewhat common, Obama endorses you and you are toast, like Kathryn's computer. (interruption) Well, of course among the Democrats. It's the Democrat primary. Damn right.

Obama has no pull in El Paso. It is a good thing long term Democrat loses.

Every so often an entrenched gets the boot. I remember back in 1994 when Steve Stockman defeated Jack Brooks in the general. A shocker to many but they do happen.

Too bad that they’ll miss the Cruz / Dewhurst runoff. But they helped get results in their CD. Hopefully the change we be for the good.

Hussein will be considered a leper by the time Nov. rolls around. Any dem that wants to be re-elected had better be paying him to stay away from them.

He was first elected in 1996, not 1966.
