First, pundits said if he got a moment he could really be a breakout candidate...
Others, well before the debate, have said he's in a pretty good position...

AND, here is something...
I've been refreshing my dowsing skills...so, I may not be into up to speed in terms of accuracy yet...BUT,
I dowsed all these jerks and asked who would get the GOP nomination and it came up.....CRUZ, LOL!

We'll have to see how this unfolds over the long run....I don't know if my pendulum is a Drudge reader...!

He has the looks, and can hold up and come across as not being a moron with limited pressure.
Separated from this death match primary, as the single nominee they could prop him up like Bush II.

Trump could win, but I think if it was him and Hill, she comes out on top like facing the jackassew in the hearing last week.

Carson would be a horrible candidate if he had everyones focus, and would be the only chance for the dems to win the house because he would surpress the r vote, Hill or not.

he is not dumb, he went to Harvard and apparently didn't go there because he had a daddy who got him there.

He is the most equipped to debate, but his positions are nuts....He would be good to run against, I think...but these days,
who knows??

Huff Post has a piece up there now by Ryan Grim that outlines how Cruz's strategy seems to be moving along well....
