Quite an amazing feat considering how we haven't been hearing much from them and how hard the MSM, left-wing liberal DemoRats totally impugned the Tea Party, did all they could to marginalize Obama's biggest political threat other than himself.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the NYT editor’s office when they had to go with the story.

Progressive Democrats for Dewhurst FAILED in their efforts, I see.

Whoever made those grainy, sleazy TV ads for Dewhurst should never get another job. They were pathetic and did more to drive voters to the polls to vote for Cruz than anything else.

Barf.
The idiots at the NYT quotes a Dem professor at the University of Texas as an authority. What tripe.
UT is that great bastion of liberalism which is held in high contempt by the older grads and most of the state. Austin is the Left Coast of Texas.
If you were to give Texas an enema, Academia in Austin would be where you would start.

Mr. Cruzs success shows that the center of the state party has moved decisively to the right, said James Henson, a political scientist at University of Texas. The Republicans are in much more treacherous terrain, not because of threats from Democrats, but threats from within the party. Bullstalin. As the DNC went "New Democrat", other Democrats went RINO. It's called TAKING THE GOP BACK.
Democrat poli-sci professors aren't looking out for Republican "interests".

Of course, take this with a grain of salt. UT is in Austin, which could be Greenwich Village or San Fransisco.
Now, if a Professor at A & M said this...
I’d be more concerned. (LOL)

They’re not the only ones. I heard Philip Klein on “FOX News at 9:00” in Beaumont, TX tonight. He is a Republican political analyst, here in Southeast Texas, and he said the Ted Cruz victory shows that the Tea Party is “politically dangerous”. THIS IS A REPUBLICAN saying this. I sent him an e-mail and let him know that I was offended at his comment and that the Tea Party is here to stay and the GOP, “good ol’ boy” network can deal with it.

At 10:00 p.m. CDT, with 75 percent of the vote counted, Cruz is leading the long-time, Texas politician and current Lt. Governor, David Dewhurst by an astounding 56 - 44 Percent.
Gov. Rick Perry went all out for Dewhurst. Don’t be surprised if Governor “Good-hair”, who embarrassed the State of Texas with his Presidential run, does NOT serve another term as Governor of Texas.

Reverse “Operation Chaos” didn’t work.
In my polling place, they new if you voted in the 1st original primary or not.
If this was your 1st time to vote, they asked what party’s ballot you wanted.
If it was on record which primary you voted for, that was whose ballot you received now.
Brilliant.
My wife did not vote in the original primary and was asked which ballot she needed.(trust me, she was on the “right” side).
I was on record from the original primary, and I got my proper ballot.
