Polls Show Cruz Edging Dewhurst In Republican Primary

[Vogon_Glory]

We Democrats might be facing a Tea-publican extremist in the general election this fall. Tea Party/"Freedomworks" pet pol Ted Cruz is ahead of Texas Republican establishment favorite David Dewhurst 47 percent to 38 percent in a Wezel Strategies poll financed by a Cruz-backed organization.

I don't know how this will favor someone like Paul Sadler, but there's GOT to be a point where enough Texas voters or potential voters realize that whatever candidates the Texas R's put forward, NONE of them favor the interests of most Texans.

1. Dewhurst is already bad

But that super creep Cruz is a thousand times worse.

It would be lovely if a Cruz win in the republican primary would wake up enough voters so that we could actually pick up a surprise senate seat for the Ds in November. We can dream.

Now for the scary reality check. The same super PACS dropping a ton of money to beat Dewhurst would do the same to Sadler. Oh how I hate Citizens United!!! :
