Guess even in Texas many people are satisfied with the status quo.

Don't you believe it for a second. Voters here are ready to cull the old guard RINOs from the herd.

So, what’s this idiot going to say when Cornyn is forced into a runoff?

Nothing. He'll act like he never said a bloody thing, and few will even call him on it. His work here is done.

The RINOs / DEMs will hit hard during the general election. People need to be watching for mass numbers of them arriving at the last second paid by weed, beer, or Obamaphones, of course.

... said one national conservative strategist.

Well, golly-gee-whiz! Could that be Tokyo Rove stirring up lies about the TEA Party candidates?

If all these RINOs getting primaried would not make into the run-off elections, my faith in American voters would be restored.

You’d be better off learning how to run a campaign.

Not really. A lot of lame candidates are well-managed and well-funded, but a crummy candidate without good campaign skills and little to no money will fail every time.

All the major Statewide Offices have multiple GOP candidates vying for
the nomination. The only incumbent running for re-election to the current position
is the Lt Gov. Texas can see a complete turn over in the top elected State officials.
This may encourage a larger turnout than in normal non presidential years.

Governor
Lieutenant Governor - incumbent running
Attorney General
Comptroller of Public Accounts
Land Commissioner
Agriculture Commissioner
Railroad Commissioner

Ignore this.

They always try to suppress voter turn out with negative stories and "polls" saying it's impossible for "fill in name" to win, right before an election.

The day after- they'll act all "surprised" that the election was close. They knew it was close in the first place.

Katrina Pierson was on Glenn Beck's show the other day-Impressive candidate. I would bet her race is closer than what they are saying. I hope she can pull this off. Beck, Levin, Hannity, Rush, can be of help here.

Cornyn, Sessions, and the Rinos just don't get it. The Constitution is in shambles. The nation is falling apart. People's rights are being trampled on by our abusive, wanna-be tyrannical government. and they want to make "deals" and "compromise" with the socialists in their efforts to take down our country. Then they wonder why everyone is ticked off at them.

Tea party- You need to inform the people about this negative ("Name of candidate")"can't possibly win" tactic and tell them to ignore it and :

GO VOTE!

DON'T GIVE UP TEA PARTY-IT'S NOT OVER TIL IT'S OVER!!!
