Did you know there are 8 Republican Primary Senatorial candidates?

http://www.texasgop.org/elections/candidates/

So hopefully they will deny Cornyn a victory & force a run-off.

I think that is correct, but not 100% sure.

“Curious..is the runoff between the top 2 vote getters if nobody has a majority in the primary?”

Yes. Ted Cruz placed second to David Dewhurst, the lt. governor, winning 34% of the vote compared to Dewhurst’s 45%.

The runoff was no contest as Cruz got 55% to Dewhurst’s 45%.

so Cornyn is trying to get his 50% in primary so he has no runoff danger.

Thanks.
Is Abortion Barbie a lock for the D gov nomination, or does she have credible opponents that are being ignored by the MSM?

Thank you! Dividing the vote in the primaries allows the Rino to win. Help us take back the Republican Party. Staying home is not an option, it’s a political tactic. So many here don’t get that. We need to find the most Conservative candidate that stands a chance of winning and support them with all we’ve got.

The primary is the place we can get a conservative elected.

Not in Texas. Read post 64 on how Ted Cruz won.

“The establishment republicans have already played the third party card in Alaska, (Murkowski), and Florida, (Crist). If they think we are afraid to play that card because it will split the vote, and give the win to the Dems, that didn’t happen in either case.”

Very good evidence in support of the point.
