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...

Well then, guess I wasn't talkin 'bout you, huh?


It's not even 9pm yet guys, let's not get ahead of it.

Huh? 54% to 46% is almost statistically impossible to recover from. that is why the computers and major media called the race already.

 

[Vaquero]

FOX news, (Hannity) just called Cruz the winner.
No stats, just a winner declared.

 

[TXARGUY]

YEAH CRUZ!!!!
YEAH CRADDOCK!!!
It will be interesting to see how the MSM spins this one. Chalk up another one for the Tea Party!!!

You are correct sir

 

[XinTX]

Yes! Cruz cruised to a win. Always thought Dewhurst was a 'go along to get along' type.

You are correct sir

54-46 is a huge win. In politics, Cruz laid a beating on him.

 

[winchster]

It gives me a small glimmer of hope anyway.

 

[Domineaux]

When you bear in mind that Dewhurst outspent Cruz 3 to 1, it puts it even more into perspective.

I got a kick outta the dem strategist talkin' about Cruz will replace Kay. She claims the People want someone like Kay that can get along, not some guy that will hold the line and not give in.

NEWSFLASH : NO. WE. DON'T.

I love this quote....

Ted led a tough fight and Texans have spoken – they want to send someone to Washington who will be a key voice and fight to defend our liberty. This is the first time in my memory that the United States senator has not been essentially ordained by Austin.

-Republican Rep. Michael Burgess

Lines were HUGE at 6pm as I passed by. Looks like they had an hour or more wait. Glad I voted Friday.

 

[J. Fred]

The Pollsters really did a good job on this race. Earlier I saw they said Cruz had a 10 point edge.

With 84% reporting now,Cruz has a 12 point lead.

Let's hope this is the start of a flood that will clean out the House and Senate. There are FAR too many turds in Washington DC! Let's not forget the Oval Office, either. It's time for a damned good house cleaning!

After cruz won they were waiting for his speech so they were interviewing supporters for the liberals some bar in austin.. paul whats his name.. what they said pissed me off.. Lets not loose focus and let the liberals take it. We've come this far, finish it in november. Dang it.. why cant mark levin go on air now... I gotta wait till tomorrow..

 

[Bithabus]

Take that Dewhurst! I would have voted for you if you helped some gun rights bills pass, but you chose not to.

I was not a fan of Ted Cruz or an opponent of David Dewhurst until I saw how Dewhurst ran his campaign. His was a mud slinging hate mongering deal and I just could not side with him. The further it went Dewhurst was throwing his own money into his campaign to the tune of 16 million dollars. He was so out of touch with the voters it was palatable. This is a great defeat to the establishment republicans and I believe that the ripple effect of this election will be felt all the way through to November.
