Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has now secured at least 88 of the 155 delegates at stake in the Texas Primary, bringing his secured delegate total to 1174, 30 more than necessary to win the majority of the delegated needed for the GOP nomination.

With 4% of Texas precincts now reporting, Romney has consistently maintained or increased a 60 point lead over his nearest competitor, Congressman Ron Paul.

In the contested race for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, David Dewhurst is holding a 48% to 31% lead over his nearest rival Ted Cruz in a nine person contest.

“What is so great about Cruz anyway?”

Well, IMHO, he combines Conservatism and Machismo in one. He would be a sexy and sassy US Senator.

And this is a Blue Dog county, but Obama ate all the Blue Dogs!

[mylife]

Well he rolled back welfare.

Dallas is a hellish nightmare and Leppert did a good job there.

He was my second choice.

I did not see a single rebuttal from Cruz about the Chinese allegations. Maybe he didn’t have the money.

He didn't even have the time. Dewhurst's campaign began running those commercials right on the very eve of the Texas vote. Despicable, and as low as any cutthroat liberal would do.

Thankfully, we'll now have a run-off campaign, and Cruz will have the time and space to successfully dead-agent those baseless RINO attacks.

Of course Newt was the guy that held a gun to his head.

Dallas is a hellish nightmare.

Same in my polling place. Two bored looking black ladies behind the dem desk and not a soul voting over there.

Did you just now locate Free Republic?

[mylife]

Now Ron Kirk is in charge is US trade Hooboy!

[VideoDoctor]

Well, it's NOW official

You can vote for Obama or Obama Lite.

[mylife]

of

[Impy]

Well not compared to some states (like mine, IL) but KBH and Cornyn aren’t a great Senate pair for a rock-ribbed conservative state. Time to beat the establishment.

[mylife]

I hope this represents a lack of enthusiasm for the Dems.

Vote down ticket R!

Where's the [Barf alert]???

[Windflier]

Why Dewhurst ever singled out Cruz for legal work that he never did, I’m sure I don’t know, especially when it was so easy to separate the facts from the Dewhurst fiction.

Yep. I'm sure I don't know, either .. wink, wink...

[altura]

I’ll be ok with it if Cruz manages to win, but don’t think he will.

[mylife]

KBH sucked.
All she ever did good was gun rights

[altura]

I voted R down ticket and up ticket.

[Windflier]

Dewhurst is a good conservative.
