Quite an amazing feat considering how we haven't been hearing much from them and how hard the MSM, left-wing liberal DemoRats totally impugned the Tea Party, did all they could to marginalize Obama's biggest political threat other than himself.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the NYT editor’s office when they had to go with the story.

Progressive Democrats for Dewhurst FAILED in their efforts, I see.

Whoever made those grainy, sleazy TV ads for Dewhurst should never get another job. They were pathetic and did more to drive voters to the polls to vote for Cruz than anything else.

Barf.

The idiots at the NYT quotes a Dem professor at the University of Texas as an authority. What tripe.

UT is that great bastion of liberalism which is held in high contempt by the older grads and most of the state. Austin is the Left Coast of Texas.

If you were to give Texas an enema, Academia in Austin would be where you would start.

“Mr. Cruz’s success shows that the center of the state party has moved decisively to the right,” said James Henson, a political scientist at University of Texas. “The Republicans are in much more treacherous terrain, not because of threats from Democrats, but threats from within the party.”

Bullstalin. As the DNC went "New Democrat", other Democrats went RINO. It's called TAKING THE GOP BACK.

Democrat poli-sci professors aren't looking out for Republican "interests".

left-wing liberal DemoRats totally impugned the Tea Party,
_____________________________________________________________

They’re not the only ones. I heard Philip Klein on “FOX News at 9:00” in Beaumont, TX tonight. He is a Republican political analyst, here in Southeast Texas, and he said the Ted Cruz victory shows that the Tea Party is “politically dangerous”. THIS IS A REPUBLICAN saying this. I sent him an e-mail and let him know that I was offended at his comment and that the Tea Party is here to stay and the GOP, “good ol’ boy” network can deal with it.

At 10:00 p.m. CDT, with 75 percent of the vote counted, Cruz is leading the long-time, Texas politician and current Lt. Governor, David Dewhurst by an astounding 56 - 44 Percent.

Gov. Rick Perry went all out for Dewhurst. Don’t be surprised if Governor “Good-hair”, who embarrassed the State of Texas with his Presidential run, does NOT serve another term as Governor of Texas.

...tapping into simmering anger and anti-incumbent frustration...

When conservatives are motivated it's "anger" and "frustration".

Dewhurst had DECADES to vote like a conservative (even if it meant holding his nose). He never got around to it - he was happier being Governor Perry’s bitch in the State Senate.

...and then he tried to fool the voters ONE MORE TIME. Sorry, no dice.

Texas politics should be fun next year. The state’s two top politicians just had their HEADS HANDED TO THEM this year. It will be interesting to see just how tough they are starting in January.

Cruz is a genuine constitutional scholar with stellar record in Harvard. He argued before the Scotus numerous time. Contrast that with another person who allegedly also a stellar constitutional scholar but we never seen his scholarly work neither did he ever argue a case before the Scotus.

Identity politics is ridiculous.

Ted Cruz is a "Cuban-American" born in Canada.

This reminds me of the Rubio win in FL against that a-hole Crist.

Let’s pray Cruz doesn’t soften as fast as Rubio did.

Hopefully, reading in the New York Times about how the Tea Party helped a little known conservative candidate, who was outspent 3 to 1, trounce a sitting Lt Governor whose personal worth exceeds $200 million dollars, will cause a whole lot of liberals to re-think any plans of moving to Texas.
