TEXAS PRIMARY THREAD
— CAC

Well, someone asked, so here you go, a thread tracking the battle of Dewhurst and Cruz.

Results here

Announcement about WISCONSIN RECALL coverage for next Tuesday:

Pending the completion of some things behind the scenes, we have something quite special planned out next Tuesday: a live, interactive map showing real-time results county-by-county that, if all goes right, will report faster than the AP; results of the Lt. Governor recall race, and live results on all four State Senate recall races. A team of over a dozen morons, moronettes, and guest bloggers will be helping me behind the scenes so that AOSHQ is your go-to spot for numbers and official calls. Why go any place else?

US SENATE TEXAS: Dewhurst leads Cruz 45%-34% with 91% of precincts in.
**RUNOFF TRIGGERED**
Not that it matters any more, but Mitt Romney is now officially the Republican candidate. Texas pushed him over the line.

Yes. Ampersands are just the tip of the iceberg. We are in a time warp that is cycling through 1995 usenet software.

40 Dewhurst slimed Cruz this past week or two. If you were a non- educated conservative you most likely would have voted for Dewhurst. If by chance Cruz is in a run-off... he needs our help. The big D has money and is not afraid to spend it. I really don't like Dewhurst. I am really interested to see how well (or badly) Obama does. He does nor like Tx and I think that is well known around this state. May the motto remain... don't mess with Texas.

Dewhurst pissed off a lot of conservatives by pulling wanted bills off the House floor. Cruz got my vote. Several interesting issues at a vote: voucher type school funding and the repeal of Obamacare (actual wording).

54 U.S. Senate - GOP Primary 164 of 8779 Precincts Reporting - 2% Max Runoff Cands=2 Name Party Votes Vote % Dewhurst, David GOP 207,266 47% Cruz, Ted GOP 127,564 29% Ok - so is this bad or due to order of precincts reporting or what?

Posted by: Underground Vulgarian at May 29, 2012 05:09 PM (oipCQ)

55 These are the Republican Propositions.
1. The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their childÂ’s school, public or private, while also saving significant taxpayer dollars.

2. Congress should immediately repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare) and reject the rationing of healthcare by government or the intrusion by the government into the doctor - patient relationship.

3. Government should be prohibited from restricting the content of public prayer.

4. Out of control spending should be stopped at all levels of federal and state government through constitutional amendments limiting any increase in government spending to be the combined increase of population and inflation, requiring voter approval.

5. The Texas Legislature should redraw the court-imposed lines for Congress and State legislative districts in its upcoming session in order to remedy inequities.

Democrats have 3 of their own.

1. Any graduate of a Texas high school, who has lived in the state for at least three years and lived here continuously for the last year, should be eligible for in-state tuition at state supported colleges and universities and given the opportunity to earn legal status through a higher education or military service.

2. Because a college education is increasingly necessary for jobs that allow our citizens to achieve middle class lifestyles and become the entrepreneurs who create the jobs that our economy relies on, we call on the Texas Legislature to fund colleges and universities such that tuition and fees can be
affordable to all Texans.

3. Should the Texas Legislature allow the people of Texas to vote to legalize casino gambling with all funds generated being used only for education?

56 Well if I had my guess.... he was the only one to air ads. They were character assassination ads I saw here. No way to combat that without ads of your own. He has independent wealth. Cruz needs money.

Posted by: CozMark at May 29, 2012 05:16 PM (BjOkm)

58 Maybe Cruz would have cash if he had worked outside of govt, as Dewhurst did. On paper Cruz seems much less qualified than the Lt Gov. If Dewhurst wins I dont want to hear bitching from conservatives who endorsed Hatch. Just sayin.

Posted by: Y-not on the phone wrapped in tinfoil at May 29, 2012 05:16 PM (5H6zj)

59 I heard on the radio and saw plenty of Cruz ads on TV but never one that addressed the "in bed with China" allegations. That really hurt Cruz with the locals. My arguments at the pub along the lines of "even if true Dewhurst is still worse" didn't do well.

Posted by: Bob mostly-undead Saget at May 29, 2012 05:19 PM (dBvlk)

60 Dewhurst spent $12 million on ads for a primary. Ugly campaign. I'm in Congr District 24. Ted got my vote.

61 If Dewhurst wins I dont want to hear bitching from conservatives who endorsed Hatch. Just sayin. I am so with you. I actually sort of like Hatch. But sorry... 30-40 years? The senate should not be a career. I should say... any seat should not be a career.

62 At the precinct where I worked, Reps outnumbered Dems over 15 to 1. What does that mean? I have my own theories, and will reserve them until in the morning. I voted for Cruz 2 weeks ago and would have regardless of Dewhuchison's ads (which were pretty sleazy).

64 "I heard on the radio and saw plenty of Cruz ads on TV but never one that addressed the "in bed with China" allegations."

He put out an ad saying that he was not lead lawyer, and the case was in appeals, like any other judgement would be..

It also said that the guy Screwhurst hired to slime Ted, actually moved his co. to CHINA HIMSELF years ago, thus no actual U.S. jobs were lost.

My mind was made up when Fukabee endorsed tho!

And his ads were so outragous, and with little to no footnotes, I didn't think so many would fall for them..

We got a long way to go.....

67 Looks like Cruz and Dewhurst are going into a runoff. I voted Cruz, and I'll vote Cruz again, but I don't expect he can get the nomination. Suppose I'll throw a few bucks his way anyway. Damn, looks like 2012 is all about mudslinging and Dewhurst has been dumping shit all over Cruz rather successfully I guess.

69 Oh, by the way, I did manage to talk my dear old mother into voting for that Wolfe asshole in the Democrat primary. Mom is pretty much a Dem, you see, but I've done my best to pull her somewhat rightward. Plus she was a Hillary gal and I guess she's never been much for Obummer.

71 OK, time to make that donation to Team Romney! If for no other reason than to make a statement to the MSM: You're backing the wrong horse! There's a lot more behind ABO than you realize!

75 Voted for Cruz. Got way too damned much shit mailed from Dewhurst to trust him, shit like a pretend newspaper called "The Conservative Reporter" or something insulting like that. You kidding me, you think I'm so stupid I'm going to vote for you because some outfit I never heard of slaps a "conservative" label on themselves? And his mailers smearing Cruz were pathetic--scare quotes clearly all out context. Anyway, doesn't look like the "not-Dewhurst" vote will be enough to win the runoff.

76 Could Cruz get more votes than all of the Demcrats combined? Posted by: CozMar I believe the term is IMPOSSIBLE. Not to demean you. Texas has many, many democrats as well.

83 In my eyes the run off is a miracle. So our story continues which is a very good thing. No way Cruz can win with the balance of $. TX companies and big donors are not giving to Cruz. Afraid of the power of Dewhurst. HE IS VERY POWERFUL IN TX. "If you want to do business in TX you WILL vote for me." (or not do business in TX) I really don't think I am over playing this one. Any thoughts you fellow Texans?

97 My reference is packed (dammit), but IIRC, the have been several Texas primary runoffs where the second place finisher won, and in some cases the first round vote was no more favorable than today's. 45%-33% is within striking distance; 47%-31% would be lots harder.

100 Who will be more die-hard for the runoff... Team Perry or Team Tea? I'm inclined to say Team Tea. Cruz did better with much lesser expense and he has trended up from the beginning. What more can Dewhurst do than run more negative ads about China at a higher rate? The guy just saturated the state airwaves and Cruz still gained.

It's going to be very close but the Not-Dewhurst vote would tend to edge in Cruz's favor, too. Austin probably goes to Dewhurst but the Metroplex will go Cruz. So then you get to see where Houston/Beaumont, San Antonio, and the rural areas go.

Cruz and the Tea Party have a real shot here though Dewhurst still retains a good starting point. I'll donate to Cruz again.

Posted by: AnonymousDrivel at May 29, 2012 10:34 PM (eHIJJ)

101 Here's my last update of the night.

Early #s first, then TOTAL..

Ted CruzREP 200,492 30.05% 449,793 33.64%
David DewhurstREP 319,857 47.94% 598,299 44.75%
94.15% reporting
(note the 3% rise and fall of TOTAL #s)

With that in mind, I subtracted and got today ONLY #s... (I think that means people have made their minds up on the attack ads)

Dewhurst 278,442
Cruz 249,301

GAME ON!!!!

BTW, Cruz was the only one to gain a percent of the vote today (and the guy that went to 0.5) so all this is good for Cruz (IMHO)

Dewhurst went from a 120k more votes via early voting, to only 29k on election day!! WOW!

Posted by: JarvisW at May 29, 2012 11:57 PM (8yPsP)

Er, game on? With 94.15% reporting, and at least 120,000 vote difference?

Am I missing something, or is that as Game Over as it gets?

103 Funniest thing I saw on the intertubes yesterday:

Huckabee ad endorsing don't-hearse(no tea).

GO CRUZ!!!!!

On a sadder note, some IDIOTS and you know who you are have managed to send joey strauss back to Austin. Mrs. Jones has scored a run off with wentworthless. I always liked women named Elizabeth.

@Qwinn (not that anyone is checking this thread anymore) - yes, GAME ON. In order to seal the deal for the position in the primary, the winner had to get +50%. Dewhurts will now face a run-off with Cruz.

Game on indeed, once you look at the polling trends. Dewhurst is waning, while Cruz is picking up momentum. I'm playing over in my head where the "other" voters will go. Honestly, I see Leppert's voters going more to Dewhurst than Cruz, simply because I think Leppert's weaksauce moderate vision is well-aligned with Dewhurst's weaksauce moderate visions...

But, we've got what, a month? A month is an eternity.

INTERESTING ANECDOTE: When I went to go vote, I happened to follow another voter in. He had a Susan Todd bumper sticker on his car. He then proceeded to get in line to vote for the Democrat Primary. HMMM.

I'm also very frustrated with this whole new "Democrat Sliver" that's being established to cobble together all of Dallas & Fort Worth's minorities into a voter block.

I don't recall who the (R) for that House seat will be, but I'll be making sure to put out some signs and make some calls for him. I'd love to see the gerrymandering efforts blow up in the Democrat's face and TX add another Republican to the House.

107 Cruz got my vote. If that lying slime Dewhurt wins I'll protest vote against him in November. Not much is worse than a Republican that goes around acting like a Democrat.
