My first thought was that if Dewdrop does lose to Cruz he might run against Cornyn in 2014. Or he might wait in the wings to see if Perry runs for Governor again and if he doesn’t, then he would run for governor. Or how about someone like Michael Williams. He lost his primary election - really disappointed me. Whomever it might be would have to have very deep pockets and be able to take on the Austin, California, machine.
The real scary thought though is that we will have people like Cornyn and Pete Olson until they decides to retire.
There was just a whole lot of candidates running for some of the positions this time and with such a low turnout in so many parts of the state, it was hard to win. We have a whole lot riding on the run off.
In the meantime I just hope that people vote for Randy Weber who is running for Ron Paul’s old seat. He is truly “smart, charismatic, deadly serious and conservative to the shoe soles”. Plus he has a beautiful and very intelligent wife and awesome family.
Put me on your ping list on Randy Weber. He is outside my district, but I would be happy to follow him along with you.
Michael Williams. Yes, he is such a good, good bet. Redstate.com is behind him all the way. I guess he was lost among all the contenders that were in his race? He should have a future. Very disappointing for me too that he didn’t pull up a win.
On the other hand, it was reported that the low turn out was actually what really helped Cruz. The die hards, us conservatives, vote anywhere any time, and the marginal voters were pooped from the weekend and had lost interest with the month late ballot day. Dewberry had the name recognition and might have made 50 in a large turn out.
BTW, I had not put my exhausted brain to use on the possibilities of a Dewhust-Cornyn contest, but always assumed Dewhurst would try for governor one day. What you think is very interesting. Thanks.
I wonder if these inbreds have already figured these challenges out among themselves? The key seems to be to do just that and muster a bloc of power and money and buy offs, well in advance of announcing. Romney bought a lot of DC campaigns in the past three years.
