“Greece is not salvagable”

Texas Senate Race Update for Thursday, September 29, 2011
Ted Cruz is the subject of a very favorable Brian Bolduc cover story in the October 17 issue of National Review. (I’ll link to it when it’s actually online.) It doesn’t get much better than that for a conservative candidate. … Continue reading
LinkSwarm for September 27, 1011.

Texas Senate Race Update for September 23, 2011
The Ted Cruz campaign is having a lot of fun with David Dewhurst’s ducking of candidate forums: Jim Geraghty calls it the “Demonsheep” ad of the current election cycle. Cruz also got more love in the form of a fundraising … Continue reading

Interview With Texas Senate Candidate Tom Leppert
After my interview with Ted Cruz, I was contacted by the Tom Leppert campaign in late August and asked if I wanted to do an interview with Leppert. And they did this despite my very public doubts over several aspects … Continue reading

Texas State Senator Steve Ogden Won’t Seek Another Term
According to the Texas Tribune. Ogden is my state Senator, and it was something of a surprise that he ran in 2010. House District 52 Rep. Larry Gonzalez sent out a press release saying he was running for re-election to … Continue reading
