His Senate victory is a real David vs Goliath story.

Cruz defeated the most powerful politician in Texas, (Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst), for the Texas senate seat. Dewhurst had the all the clout, money, and support of the Texas RINO machine behind him and lost to the underfunded and unknown Tea Party candidate.

Would that be the Dewhurst that was recorded trying to influence local police to let a relative out of jail?
