Meet Ted Cruz, “The Republican Barack Obama”
The tea party wonder boy is sweeping the GOP establishment off its feet. Come January, he could turn the Senate upside down.

No member of the 113th Congress will arrive in Washington with as much hype as Cruz, who in late July survived one of the most expensive primaries in Texas history to knock off Gov. Rick Perry’s second-in-command, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. George Will calls Cruz, the Princeton- and Harvard Law School-educated son of a former Cuban revolutionary, “as good as it gets” [5]; National Review dubbed him “the next great conservative hope,” [6] gushing that “Cruz is to public speaking what Michael Phelps was to swimming.” Political strategist Mark McKinnon channeled the thinking of many in the party when he proclaimed Cruz “the Republican Barack Obama.” [7] He is, with apologies to fellow Cuban American Marco Rubio, the up-and-comer du jour of the conservative movement.
interesting....thanks!
Soooooo .. evidently some in Iowa believe Cruz is a great candidate. Whoda thunk it.
This is a welcome development in Iowa.
