Texas Senate Race Update for June 21, 2012

Busy week, so here’s just a quick update:

  • Here’s where to watch the Ted Cruz-David Dewhurst debate tomorrow (Friday, June 22nd) at 8PM.
  • Both Dewhurst and Cruz campaigned in North Texas.
  • A typical piece on the race. But notice how the reporter mentions “As he did at the Republican State Convention, Cruz got a more vocal and enthusiastic reception than Dewhurst.”
  • David Dewhurst once considered running for office in New Mexico.
  • The Texas Tribune looks at the immigration/amnesty muddle in the race. Some voters are still confused about where Cruz stands.
  • Paul Burka wonders if this is a viable attack issue for Dewhurst to hit Cruz with. Since it takes him a thousand words just to explain it (Cruz evidently overlooked an obscure military statute in arguing a Supreme Court case over whether imposing the death penalty for raping a child was constitutional or not), I’m guessing not. Also, the headline (“Cruz Control”) is just lazy.
  • Dewhurst changing his story on how to deal with illegal aliens.
