AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Tea party superstars from across the country are converging on Texas in hopes of helping grassroots darling and U.S. Senate hopeful Ted Cruz pull off an upset that had long seemed unthinkable against the mainstream Republican choice Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint are headlining a get-out-the-vote rally Friday night in suburban Houston. That will come a day after fellow tea party favorites, U.S. Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Utah's Mike Lee, appear at a basketball arena in Dallas on Cruz's behalf. Paul and Lee will be joined by radio host Glenn Beck and former Texas Rep. Dick Armey, who's now chairman of the conservative organization FreedomWorks.
Cruz, who's Cuban-American and the former Texas solicitor general, is locked in a fierce battle with Dewhurst for the Republican nomination to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Dewhurst has overseen the state Senate from the powerful lieutenant governor's post since 2003.

At this stage, the only upset in this race would be if Dewhurst beat Cruz!
Cruz 57, Dewhurst 43.
That’s my prediction!
Anyone else care to hazard a guess?

A TEA Party victory of any number would satisfy me.

Me, too. And hopefully that would send a resounding message.

Man, that stuff is just so heartening - everytime you hear the lame-stream media's "Tea Party dead" mantra, you see stuff like this - will be a great summer/early fall full of Tea Party rallies....

I received one of those robo-calls from Sara Palin. Of course, it’s a bit late, IMO. I got sick of Dewhursts’s attack ads some time ago.

I got sick of Dewhursts’s attack ads some time ago.I heard all about them. I had little respect for Dewhurst before, none after.

We’ll soon see, but I would beware of having Dick Armey’s backing. Is he that reliable?

David Dewhurst is a worse control freak than Obama.

The GOP controls everything in the State, and yet we 'compromise' with the Democrats on every issue.
Dewurst will do the same in the Senate.
