As a Texan I can say, the reason why Dewhurst did not get elected as senator was PERRY!! The two of them are big spending anti-Tea Party Rinos. Perry was a democrat till Bush was elected govenor. Our tax rate is in the middle of the country because of fees and crap that are hidden in the Tx cost of doing business. Our property taxes are off the chart. School Kids get the same liberal crap as those in Calif or Mass. /another post election rant

History isn't your strong suit, tex. Perry was a Republican four years (1990) before W ran for governor (1994).

You probably don't realize Reagan was a Democrat into the 1960s and less than 20 years later he was the 1980 GOP nominee.
