May 10-- Sarah Palin has weighed in on the fiercely competitive Texas Senate primary race with an endorsement of Ted Cruz, the tea-party-backed candidate announced on his website Thursday.
Mr. Cruz, pulling 26 percent of likely Republican voters in the latest Public Policy Polling survey, is hoping to finish well enough in the May 29 Texas GOP primary to make it into a July 31 runoff with Mr. Dewhurst, who is comfortably in first with 38 percent.
========== Dewhurst leads Cruz in the PPP poll, 46 percent to 29 percent.
The picture is very different when it comes to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who supports Cruz. PPP, a Democratic-leaning firm, found that 36 percent of Texas Republicans say Palin’s support would make them more likely to back a candidate, while 21 percent consider it a negative.
“In every other state, Sarah Palin’s endorsement has been a game-changer,” Cruz told Texas on the Potomac this afternoon.
Yeah, how about that Senator Fiorina!
Oh, wait...
Certainly what you say is true. It’s just that their were earlier voices and big money, pre-Sarah. It’s just inconsiderate to endlessly over rate one player constantly at the expense of all others, who were in earlier.
And, of course Cruz paid his dues to Sarah for her help. Her fan base is his fan base. Who wouldn’t? I predict with Cruz’s competency that will be calling his own shots. Soon.
Don’t mind me. I don’t really like women in politics. They have mucked up civilization and feminized everything and emasculated men. (But for the brainy, deft Thatcher.)
It’s funny how often good things “just sort of happen” when Governor Palin endorses a candidate, isn’t it?
