So, who is the conservative alternative to Dewhurst in the Lone Star State?

God forbid conservatives sit this one out and let someone like Wendy Davis romp...

For one thing, Davis is running for Governor, not Lt. Governor.

Lt. Governor is the strongest elected office in the State of Texas, even more powerful than the Governor.

Todd Staples seems to be the FR preferred candidate, but Jerry Patterson is in the race, too.

Texas is a run-off state, so the more the merrier at the beginning of the primary.

Witch Windy is running for Gov...good luck with that.

Staples seems like the front runner to take Dewberry out.

I saw something truly sickening this morning...an ad by Cornhole Cornyn saying "Only 5 votes needed to stop 0Care...please call Senators Landrieu, Hagan, Begich, Manchin" and one other...and listed their phone numbers. What a disgusting POS...when HE was one who voted FOR cloture.

What we need is a good, strong opponent to Cornhole, as well.

Not meaning to hijack your thread, Johnny...just mad as h#ll that I saw this VERY RECENT Cornball ad (paid for by Texans for Senator John Cornball, Inc.)

My sis likes Todd Staples a lot: very solid on illegal immigration and has already won a statewide election as a commissioner of agriculture, an industry known for being notoriously soft on illegal immigration.

If he can stand up to the cheap labor lobby, he can stand up to Democrats.
