The eyes of Texas and the rest of the country are upon the statewide GOP Senate primary. I’ll have results here on Tatler as soon as they’re available.
Update: Returns are starting to trickle in. WFAA-TV reporter Brad Watson tweeted that Collin Co up in north Texas went strong for Cruz.
Update: Numbers from Dallas County: Cruz 50.4, Dewhurst 49.6. Dallas is a critical county for Dewhurst, who had picked up the endorsement of former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert. If Dewhurst is down in counties like Dallas and Collin, he is in serious trouble.
Update: KHOU in Houston also reports an early Cruz lead — 54% to 46%.
Update: Cruz “clobbers” Dewhurst in Harris County (Houston) early voting, 60-39, according to WFAA’s Brad Watson. Wow.
Update: Now a report from Tarrant County (Fort Worth) that Cruz leads there too. You can’t give all these major counties away and win statewide in Texas.
Update: Dewhurst does lead in one big county, Travis. That’s Austin, which is the liberal blue dot in the red sea of Texas.
Ted will pull through with a decided majority.
The only real question is the extent of Ted Cruz’s victory. Will it be in double digit territory?
Dewhurst was playing some very dirty pool in the last 24 hours. When he loses, it will be because he deserves to lose. He is a man without honor.
Cruz is a gamble. He IS a lawyer after all. But Dewhurst is lower than whale $hit. What a scumbag! Perry’s buddy.
Bryan,
Can you call play by play on this? I see that 14.7% of the vote is in and it’s Cruz 53.2% and Dewey at 46.8%
But us non Texans don’t know what to make of any trending here.
Oh. Oops. I hadn’t refreshed my browser. Sorry.
