Yep, Cruz had some help.
From the article--Dewhurst had strong name recognition entering the 2012 campaign season and was expected by most analysts to easily beat Cruz and other contenders for the Senate seat held by Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Who's name, which reason, is nowhere in the article?
"I would not be in the U.S. Senate today if it were not for Governor Palin," Cruz said in gratitude.

Ill never forget that little minion of Dewhurst that kept posting on here during the campaign telling everyone how Dewhurst was the real conservative and Ted Cruz had no experience...I just wish I could remember his name Traded a few posts with that guy during the campaign. He was way over the top and one of those posters you just had to walk away from every now and then. You wrestle with pigs and all you get is mud all over yourself. Cruz had the ability to shake off the mud.

You couldn’t find your voters because they were still in Mexico.

Dewhurst thought he had the seat in the bag with Perry’s glowing endorsement. Team Perry got all upset when Palin showed up in support of Cruz and commenced to shred their anointed GOPe prince in the polls. Dewhurst should look inward for answers, but whiny losers never do.

I believe Patterson has thrown his hat in the ring for Lt. Gov. Have listened to him speak and he’s great right up until he talks about wanting to add a HUGE guest worker program for illegals in Texas. Wouldn’t vote for Patterson or Dewhurst as dog catcher. Sure hope we have another option but it is early yet.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be anyone to take Abbott’s place as AG. Keep hearing Jeb Bush’s son’s name pop up. We don’t need any more Bush’s in government anywhere.

I remember when Cruz polled at 3%. It was Sarah and the Tea Party. Moving the dates didn’t hurt Cruz either.

Perry had to endorse him.
How could he not endorse his own Lt Gov?

Like he “had” to support LaRaza, subsidize wind farms and push TTC? Let me guess, God told him to do it all on one of his jogs. LOL..

Funny, I thought he lost because he was a liberal.
To: Texican72
We had a hard time finding our voters, Dewhurst said Actually, Dewhurst found them all. There just weren't very many. Cruz came out of nowhere and won, because his message resounded with the voters.

Dewhurt thought he was part of the royal Texas GOP bloodline, and was entitled to any office he wanted.
He didn't realize that KBH and Coryn had screwed the pooch, and the landscape changed. Texas a'int RINOville, and hopefully that was a cold slap in the face.
