Looking at the current batch of senators, I don't see sucking as a disqualifier.
I understand your viewpoint, but I believe Lt. Gov. Dewhurst's behavior in the campaign made a huge difference to many Texas Republicans and gave the win to Ted Cruz.
I believe tens of thousands of Republican primary voters were surprised by the sleazy, dishonest campaign ads that Dewhurst and his PAC supporters approved and he came to be seen as a person without honor. I know it was shocking to our family. I have my doubts now that Dewhurst is worthy of holding public office, let alone one of the most influential positions in Texas state government.
lol! No, but Texas voters were provided a far better alternative in Ted Cruz.
