Patrick is beating Dewhurst 42%-28% with 40% of precincts in, so it’s going to be a Patrick-Dewhurst run-off. I’m predicting a 62%-38% victory for Patrick in the run-off.
The Texas SOS website claims there’s some person named “SECEDE Kilgore” (with SECEDE in all caps like that) running for Governor.
Great! Too bad Patrick didn't top 50%, avoiding a runoff altogether.
GP Bush wins big, sadly.
In other news, Cornhole wins easily, no runoff with Stockman. Entirely predictable, Stockman unfortunately is something of a douche, he wouldn't have won a runoff anyway. Cornhole wins the Rick Perry way, by default.
Stockman's house seat (District 36) will see a runoff between former Woodville (pop 2400) Mayor Brian Babin, who lost 2 races for Congress in the 90's against Former Rat Rep. Jim Turner, and businessman Ben Streusand. That candidate for that Stockman wanted, Dave Norman, the husband of one his staffers, did very poorly.
The rat nominee was the libertarian nominee in 2012. LOL.
In CD 4, 135 year old incumbent Ralph Hall faces a runoff with former US Attorney John Ratcliffe.
In rat held CD 23, the only competitive general election race for any Texas House race, former Congressman "Quico" Canseco (who lost reelection even as Romney won his district) faces a runoff with gringo Will Hurd.
In CD 32, Pete Sessions beats his Palin-backed challenger Katrina Pierson by 2-1.
