Ted Cruz – David Dewhurst wrap up

Okay, I’ve been meaning to write about the Ted Cruz – David Dewhurst race for a bit but got sidetracked by the birth of my first grandchild! Pictures here – hey, I’m a grandpa now, I can do that stuff. It was a shellacking. No doubt about that. But in answer to all of the [...]

David Dewhurst: let’s fight until the polls close!

If you are, like me, a supporter of a man with a great conservative record, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, then you might be disheartened by the noise coming from the Washington media that the race for US Senator is over. Don’t be! This race isn’t over and we need every vote we can get! I [...]

Dannie votes for Dew, gets taste of own medicine

Heh, you gotta love it when someone gets a taste of their own medicine! For years, Dan Patrick sat behind the microphone of KSEV in Houston and blasted every politician in sight.

Downtown Houston Pachyderm Meeting 7-26-12

Well, sometimes, people disappoint you. Or, in this case, disappoint me.

Texas US Senate Race: Craig James – bringing openness and honesty to politics

Whoa. When I received the following from the Craig James campaign yesterday, I sorta shrugged and blew it off. But you know what? The more I think about it, the more I think that I should have been all over this thing last night. Because frankly, it is rare that we get a view of [...]

Dewhurst, Leppert running strong, positive campaigns

…which might explain why they are the frontrunners in the race to fill retiring U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison’s seat. First, the latest Dewhurst campaign video is just awesome: Awesome because of that closing line: Some people say it will take courage. I disagree. Courage is what my Dad did. All we have to do [...]

Texas US Senate race: UT/TT poll, charitable contributions

There sure was a lot of noise about an unorthodox poll put out by UT and the Texas Tribune yesterday that claimed Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst had a decent lead over Ted Cruz, with the rest of the pack well back. The Cruz campaign is promoting it heavily, claiming that it shows him firmly in [...]
