I took back my endorsement of her after her 9/11 craziness. I’m sure she killed her chances with that.

[La Enchiladita]

It’s a big state; they have room for even more:-)

[berdie]

Same in my tiny corner of the world.

[txmissy]

Ugh.

[Crichton]

Looks like Tommy Merritt went down (state rep 17)

[GeronL]

Thanks Hank!

[darkangel82]

It just isn’t a good environment for incumbents right now.

“And yet you spelled her name wrong...”

Whatever... she wasn’t a write-in.

[Allegra]

I am so jealous! I hope they show them on TV.

What did they write on their hands?

Too cool!

The race to face Chet Edwards could be heading to a runoff, if early returns hold up. Both Rob Curnock and Bill Flores have about 30 percent of the vote in the Waco district's Republican primary. That also appears to be true for the Republican challengers to San Antonio's Ciro Rodriguez. Quico Canseco has 37 percent of the vote so far, but Will Hurd and Robert Lowry both have more than 20 percent.

[GeronL]

Coming to America Texas!

[Crichton]

Bill Flores wins Limestone County, still slightly behind Curnock in Curnock’s base of McLennan Co.

Jarvis Jackson must be a HUGE clown! 70-26?

Who might be her Pubbie competitor (if any)?

[davetex]

Me too!!

[GeronL]

I took back my endorsement of her after her 9/11 craziness. I’m sure she killed her chances with that.

Otherwise Medina would be second with 25% and Kay would have 22% and Perry would have 53%

Call that a TEA Party win!

I don't think that's accurate. Flores is on pace for a clear first place finish, but not close to 50%.
