Ted Cruz staffer Joshua Perry recently tweeted that he had hit a deer. (Both his car and the deer were fine.) I quipped that he should hope it was a Dewhurst-voting deer. He replied he thought it was for Sadler. But there are so many other possibilities: It was a Grady Yarbrough deer, disoriented from… Continue reading Oh Deer

Post-Primary Election Roundup
Numerous nuggets of non-Senate race information and observation on Tuesday’s election: Two years ago, Michael Williams and Elizabeth Ames Jones were both on the Railroad Commission. Sixteen months ago they were serious U.S. Senate candidates. Now each has missed the runoff for their respective down-ballot races, U.S. CD 25 and Texas SD 25, respectively. (Donna… Continue reading Post-Primary Election Roundup
Williams Switches from CD33 to CD25 Race. No, the OTHER Williams.
I wonder if Michael Williams is thinking about swearing out a stalking complaint against Roger Williams. First Michael Williams dropped out of the Senate race to run for the newly created Congressional District 33 on June 17th. Then, a week later, Roger Williams did the same. Then at the end of July, Michael Williams switched… Continue reading Williams Switches from CD33 to CD25 Race. No, the OTHER Williams.

Williams Switches from Senate to District 33 Congressional Race. No, the OTHER Williams.
Last week it was Michael Williams. This week it’s Roger Williams switching from running for the Senate to running for House District 33.

No, the OTHER Williams.
Rep. Joe Barton to Run for Re-Election in 6th Congressional District
Rep. Joe Barton is sticking to the sixth congressional district. That’s good news for Michael Williams, since Barton was rumored to be thinking about running in the newly created 33rd Congressional District, where Williams is running after dropping his Senate bid. Williams is a strong candidate, but he has to breathing a sigh of relief,… Continue reading Rep. Joe Barton to Run for Re-Election in 6th Congressional District
Ted Cruz Picks Up Two More Endorsements
The Ted Cruz winning streak continues, with two more key endorsements, namely Peggy Venable, Texas State Director for Americans for Prosperity, and Ernie Angelo, former RNC Committeeman. Cruz has easily lapped his opponents in the endorsement race. Other than Roger Williams’ endorsement by former President George H. W. Bush, and the departed Michael Williams’ endorsement… Continue reading Ted Cruz Picks Up Two More Endorsements
Michael Williams Makes His Congressional Run Official
“Former Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams announced Friday night that he will run for the new U.S. House District 33 — which stretches from Arlington to Parker County — instead of the U.S. Senate.” This move has been in the works for a couple of weeks now, but it’s good to see it made official.… Continue reading Michael Williams Makes His Congressional Run Official
The Washington Post Discovers Ted Cruz
Washington Post writer Aaron Blake pays serious attention to Ted Cruz, and his role as Tea Party favorite. It’s a decent write-up for an out-of-state MSM outlet playing catch-up, but there are several statements about which I have at least some minor quibbles. For example, take this sentence That’s because he’s emerging as a potential… Continue reading The Washington Post Discovers Ted Cruz
