Dewhurst vs Cruz - Runoff Election

[hogrider]

I haven't voted FOR an incumbent in years and I'm not about to start now. New blood all the time! Now if we ever got term limits I might change but until then it's out with the old and in with the new.

campaign sign theft is rampant during every election at every level.

There have been a couple people on here post about how campaign signs make excellent target backing. Just saying...

Yup. And if you go to Best of The West, a lot of their targets are campaign signs.

Voted Cruz. So did the wife. Not a lot of people bothering to vote, so each one counts even more. 'Nuff said.

Cheers! M2

Did my duty before Cruzin off to lunch.

You big city people don't know what you're missing. I walked into the polls which were held in a baptist church. Before I cleared the hallway into the large room I was greated with multiple and simulanteous "hellos", "welcomes", and "step right ups". I have to drive to get some things, hospitality ain't one of 'em.

Same here, but I went about 10:00.

Just finished voting. The line was out the door and into the parking lot. We baked under the sun stuck in line for about an hour before we could get inside the building.

I punched the button for Cruz, Stockman, and Smitherman. They were the NRA endorsed candidates.

Turn out was insane, not sure if that's a good thing or bad. There was one of obama's sons skulking about in the area that was marked off-limits to campaign workers screaming 'vote for obama'. I imagine had he been eligible to vote, he'd have been sorely disappointed at the choices on the ballot. I thought about being nice and sharing some of my Fox Labs with him but the poll workers came out and shoo'd the moron away.

I voted today for the first time ever, for Cruz.


My parents didn't vote

Went to my polling place, the dems had 30 people vote in the 5 o'clock hour the republicans had 122.

Good sign...

It wouldn't let me edit the post.

Looks like my rep, Randy Weber, won his. Wayne Faircloth is doing well with 66% at 17% (I'm his webmaster!) Cruz is leading with 53% at 12% reporting.

Typical when they dont have a primary to worry about.

In most cases that is not a bad strategy!

Well, Helotes ain't really a "big city;" and we got the same treatment. The volunteers (God bless 'em!) do a heckuva job getting you through the process, even though there really wasn't much of a crowd when we voted...

woot!

8:24p The Associated Press calls Ted Cruz the winner in his GOP U..S. Senate runoff against David Dewhurst. The latest vote total gives Cruz 53 percent of the vote with 16 percent of precincts reporting. - AP

 

[winchster]

Fox DFW is calling Cruz the winner with 21% reporting

 

[jordanmills]

AP just called Cruz for the winner. 54% at 22% reporting. Whee. Weber has it, and Faircloth is at 60% with 31% reporting.
