U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz released a radio ad yesterday that ended up in the YouTube shadows of his rival Lt. Gov. David Dewhursts own radio ad touting support from Gov. Rick Perry.
Cruzs new ad, which received 10 times fewer YouTube views than Dewhursts, features conservative talk show host Mark Levin labeling U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz as a proven warrior for liberty.
In the ad, Levin, a lawyer, accuses Dewhurst of spending millions of dollars lying about Ted Cruz.
Dewhurst has attacked Cruz for killing American jobs by representing a Chinese company accused of stealing blueprints from an American company through a former employee.
The man Dewhurst tells you is an American manufacturer actually moved his entire factory to China 20 years ago, Levin says.
Cruz spokesman James Bernsen said the YouTube views arent definitive of the effectiveness of the ad since it is being broadcasted on the radio.
Levin joins radio host Glenn Beck in supporting Cruz for retiring U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchisons seat in Washington.
Good for Levin. Texas conservatives need to do everything they can to assure a runoff with Cruz in it. David Dewhurst is the epitome of an establishment hack.
With Sarah Palin (passionate patriot), Pat Boon (christian patriot), and Mark Levin (intellectual patriot) all for Cruz, how can one go wrong.
Well I early voted yesterday for Cruz. Dewhurst will still be better than a demoRat. Also voted of old man Paul—have to reserve the clothespin on nose for Myth come November.
We have a young gun Tea Party endorsed state rep candidate Rinaldi and I got to meet him outside the polling place yesterday before i voted for him too.
I voted for Cruz this morning.
I've been inundated more than usual this Texas Primary election with robo-calls from candidates, live calls from campaign volunteers, invitations to live tele-townhalls, my mail box stuffed every week with mail-outs and have been polled three times. I suppose that's the price I pay for never missing voting in any election in the last two decades.
My vote will go to Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate.
I hope they can spell, T.E.A. Party!
I was curious who Dan Patrick had endorsed and found this.
Patrick Considering U.S. Senate Run (May 27, 2011)
What happened? ...I don't hear much on ole Dan these days.
With Sarah Palin (passionate patriot), Pat Boon (christian patriot), and Mark Levin (intellectual patriot) all for Cruz, how can one go wrong.

Well, there are a lot of uninformed, ignorant voters out there who just vote for a name they are familiar with so they can feel like they did their civic duty.
If there is a run-off between Cruz and Dewhurst, Cruz will win the run-off; even if Dewhurst has the most votes in the first go-round. Why?
#1. Dewhurst’s support will not be as strong the second time around. The lazy voters who just vote for name ID will not show up the second time. And,
2. Any incumbent forced into a run-off, loses 80% of the time.
