.......unless you have some solid data to base this opinion on, and if you do I’m all ears, I respectfully dis agree with you.

I say this based upon reports that neither Cornyn or Stockman have won one straw poll of tea partiers and Stovall, conversely, has won them all by wide margins.

With the social media in play, and Internet, word is getting around re hard working, conservative Stovall.

Then, there’s the Palin factor. Her endorsing Stovall and attending a few rallies will get him press he would never get without her.

Bottom line, I predict Corny won’t get a majority and there will be a runoff.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Texas has a runoff primary system. In part one, the ONLY objective is to keep cornball from getting 51% of the vote. I can vote for Mickey Mouse in part 1 and the only important thing is that it was NOT a vote for cornball.

In the runoff, the top 2 candidates go head to head. There is no splitting the vote here, it is chose one or the other.

This system lets everyone vote for their favorite candidate in the opening round. The more people in, the better!

It is between Stovall and Stockman for me, and Stockman has not done a good job of responding to the press attacks. I don’t want a flat footed senator. And if Palin did endorse Stovall, that would carry a lot of weight with me.

A shallow RINO who is desperately attempting to get on networks to advertise his supposed conservative credentials.

John, we learned when Kay Bailey was replaced by Cruz how a real conservative should act.

You are not one.

Didn’t Stockman drop out? Or maybe is in just for the fool’s contributions? Either way we don’t need a clown even a conservative one.

Stovall has my vote. If he makes the runoff, he’ll get my money.

Tom De Lay should challenge Cornyn.
