Another interesting bit:
In a new poll released Monday, Cruz holds a 10-point lead over Dewhurst. A Cruz victory would represent a major repudiation of Texas governor and former Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, who has supported Dewhurst, and a major victory for Sarah Palin, who has supported Cruz. According to the Public Policy Polling survey, 31% of voters say they would vote for a candidate endorsed by Palin, compared to only 24% who say they’re more likely to vote for Perry’s choice.
