For those of us late to the party, who is the Dem and does Cruz stand a chance?

Dewhurst is a Rhino

Cruz is Tea Party backed

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Yes, even the Texas Dems don’t know who their guy is. Whoever wins tonight will win in November.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Whoever wins the GOP Runoff will win the seat. The November election will be a formality.

[MEG33]

The dim doesn’t have a chance no matter who wins this..I think Cruz will win.

[thestob]

Cruz will hardly acknowledge the democrat in the general and will win in a breeze ...

[JohnD9207]

Paul Sadler is the projected loser in November.

[penelopesire]

It is a republican primary run off and Cruz looks to be cruising to victory. Dewhurst is an establishment rino and ran the most dishonest campaign I have ever seen. It really was detestable.

[JRandomFreeper]

In class 1, Bob Krueger was the last Democratic senator, after being appointed to replace Bentsen, who resigned to become Sec Treas. 1993

In class 2, Blakly and LBJ were the last Democratic senators from Texas. LBJ stepped down to take the Veep slot under Kennedy, and Blakly was appointed to finish his term. 1961.

I don't expect any Dem to have a chance this year.

Texas hasn't elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since Lloyd Bentsen in 1988. As the others have stated earlier, Ted Cruz is expected to defeat his Democrat opponent, Paul Sadler, in the November election. Sadler is an attorney who served in the Texas House from 1991 to 2003.
