There were few, if any ads for Stockman or Stovall. There were many ads targeting Stockman, but these were paid for by a 3rd party group that was obviously supporting Cornholio. Cornyn's ads all attacked Obama. If the Cornyn of those ads actually existed, I would have been proud to vote for him. FWIW, I voted for Stovall.
The interesting thing was the disparity of the turnout. Abortion Barbie won the 'rat nomination with something like 400,000 votes. Abbott received about a million more votes. The 'rats did not come out for this primary.
Interesting. Thanks.
