Sockman has my vote. At this point, he's got more name recognition than Cruz had when Cruz went up against Dewhurst.

I'm not sure what part of TX you're in, but Stockman is my Congressman. He won in the GOP Sweep in '94 and then lost the next election. He did not hold office again for 18 years until he ran in 2012. He is NOT that well-known outside of Southeast Texas. I'm still going for Linda Vega. She has something Cruz has; a Hispanic surname. And, being a female is also a plus.

Cornyn will definitely have to face a GOP Runoff Election. Stockman is my Congressman. Please see my Post #21.

Welcome to Free Republic.

I'm up near DFW, and yes, Stockman has more name recognition than Vega.

Doesn't matter at the beginning, anyway, every vote for Stockman and Vega takes votes from Cornyn, and can help keep him below 50%.

To: Sans and Farnsworth: Stockman is my Congressman. He’s o.k. but nothing spectacular. Please see my Post #21.

[Farnsworth]

So you’re voting based on a surname and sex??

[Din Maker]

I’m voting on who is a Conservative that can win. Sorry I didn’t explain that for you. Everyone else understood.

[Farnsworth]

your original statement doesn’t back that up. But if you think she’s a conservative, then she’s worth a look then.
