On the surface, the recent Texas Republican primaries were a race to the right on nearly every issue. But the underlying strength of every successful federal Republican campaign on March 4 was the ability to run an organized campaign.

Texas is so big, so complex, so expensive that for any ambitious Republican, conservatism is important but organization is paramount.

“The Republican political electorate is clearly looking for strong conservatives up and down the ballot, but money does matter at the statewide level because it takes so much time and resources to get your message out to the voters,” Texas-based GOP pollster Chris Perkins said.

This article includes a lot of names of future Congressmen and perhaps a future U.S. Senator or even more. It’s worth a read.

If a Senate seat does open up, there is George P. Bush and then there is everyone else.
