Is Craig James the Texas A&M Craig James?
Part of it is name recognition. I have gotten several packets in the mail, and several phone calls.
Dewhurst is playing nasty politics.
The more he does it, the more I dig in for Cruz.
Truth is, Cruz is breathing down Dewhurst’s neck.
What I don’t get is Leppert and James. They’re both liberals.
Two votes for Cruz in this very Conservative Household.
You shouldn’t pay any attention whatever to these types of polls as they are DESIGNED to influence your opinions not measure them!
I can guarantee anyone the EXACT result they want for a poll before I write the first question or make even one phone call. It is a fairly exact science.
What’s going on is that Texas conservatives are educated and know that Lt. Governor Dewhurst is and always has been a conservative.
This is not Mourdock against Lugar.
No one has polled my household; we are voting Cruz and I am encouraging my extended family to vote Cruz
What the heck is going on in Texas is the GOP had a presidential primary but we weren’t invited. So only the diehard political junkies are even halfway paying attention to the primary races for the other offices. I am doggedly sifting through the websites of all these down-ballot judges & school board hopefuls & so forth to try to figure out who to vote for but most people I know are not taking the time to do any research. If anything, they may go by those voter guides that come in the mail but I don’t trust those.
When I was at Texas in the 80s there were bumper stickers that said: SMU: the best athletes money can buy.
I’m voting for Ted Cruz, and was even before the Palins endorsed him. Dewhurst probably would be considered conservative in most of the rest of the country, but this is Texas, we can do better.
Bogus poll.
Other polls show Cruz and Dewhurst will end up in a runoff.
Vote for Cruz.
Are you skeptical or could this poll be accurate?
Here in our household in Marxville by the Colorado (aka Austin, TX), there are two votes for Cruz. However, I wouldn’t bet anything I cared to lose on Cruz. I’ve seen lots of Dewhurst ads on TV, but have not seen even one Cruz ad. Maybe Cruz has written off the Austin area, but I hope not since much of the surrounding area contains lots of Republican voters.
This is another Dewhurst lie.
Actual non-internal polling shows Cruz has been slowly but steadily closing the gap on Dewhurst.
In September, it was Dewhurst 41, Cruz 12
In January, it was Dewhurst 36, Cruz 18
In April, it was Dewhurst 38, Cruz 26
Cruz has cut Dewhurst’s 29-point lead (Sept.) to 18 (Jan.) and then 12 (Apr.)

Being a Texan, Dewhurst, the life-long politician who has been living off the government dole for years, has name recognition. But, I don’t believe this poll. I believe that there will be a run-off between Dewhurst and Cruz and Cruz will ultimately prevail.
