The vote numbers were from here

I made the assumption that if most FReepers thought MassMitt was a lousy candidate, most Texas Republicans would also.
That leads to the assumption that a really “popular” candidate in Texas should do better than Romney.
If that’s flawed logic, we’ll agree to disagree.
11 months from now we’ll know who the studs and duds are for sure.
Thanks for the link. I’ll be bookmarking that, for sure.
I guess we’ll just agree to disagree. As you say, we should know in a few months if Cruz is up to the task of getting his message out and standing up to the garbage that both sides will be hurling at him. Judging from his Texas race against RINO Dewhurst, he’ll live up to my expectations. He was the underdog in that primary, but he has the courage of his convictions and came from behind, beating Dewhurst against all the odds. Once he got to the general election, many conservatives stayed home, assured that Cruz would slide past Dem Paul Sadler easily without their help. They were right. Still made me nervous, though.
