Linda Vega will get most of her support from her hometown of Houston and the large cities of Dallas and San Antonio. Stockman will carry East Texas. I’m telling you, don’t be surprised if Vega knocks either Stockman or Stovall out of the top 3. But, even if she comes in fourth place, I guarantee you; she will be a big factor in forcing Cornyn into a run-off. So, I say God bless Linda Vega.
I was surprised by the Vega numbers. For the numbers I’m seeing, it’s close between Cornyn and Stockman and Vega close behind. But Tea Party people don’t talk to pollsters to it’s hard to get a hold on what they’re going to do and they’re the ones most likely to turn out and they’re so much support for Stovall. I voted for Stovall as well as other I know, but he’s not really getting picked up in polls. So it will be interesting to see what happens with him.
Yes, this is a surprise about Vega’s fine numbers coming in rather under the radar as you say, for sure.
People forget, Mexican-American’s in TEXAS can be quite devout very earnest, and committed conservatives, stubborn even, and this bodes well at a time of pressure by Democrats, to use them as tools, lure them into socialism, using their families and various social/economic concerns, guilt, etc.
They are not all LA RAZA types, in TEXAS. Vega sounds like one we don’t have to fear politically, should she move to the top.
Thanks for the useful information. Rita
