TPPF Texas Senate Debate Roundup and Video, Plus A Few Other Race Tidbits

I was busy with a family even over the weekend, so I haven’t had a chance to sit down and watch the debate all the way through. But I’ll go ahead and put it up for others to take a gander at (Hat tip: The Right Side of Austin). Be aware that the debate doesn’t actually start until over an hour into the video. I’ve heard of long intros, but that’s ridiculous…

I’ll save my own comments until I get a chance to watch the whole video.

Here’s a live blog of the debate.

The Cruz campaign sent out a list of links, and rather than link all of them and claim them as my own, I’ll just direct you thataway.

One link they didn’t send out was this review over at Big Jolly Politics, where he gave James, Addison and Dewhurst As, Cruz a B, and Leppert a C.

Kathleen McKinney ranked it Cruz first, James second, and Leppert last (“Not a lot of flash there”), though her overall impressions of all were positive.
