Some tidbits on the race as the first half of the year comes to a close:<\/p>\n

  • I was out of town for the weekend, so you’ve probably already seen news of the Texas Senatorial Forum in Houston. If not, here’s coverage<\/a>.\n
  • Over on Red State, Ted Cruz calls on Republicans to to hold firm on the debt ceiling debate<\/a>. And asks for campaign donations.\n
  • Speaking of Red State and Cruz, he’s one of five senate candidates promoted by Erick Erickson as worthy on your donations<\/a>. (Jeff Flake of Arizona, Adam Hasner of Florida, Josh Mandel of Ohio and Don Stenberg of Nebraska are the other four.)\n
  • The Washington Times<\/i> offers up a pretty competent roundup of the race<\/a>.\n
  • Hotline on Call also does a roundup<\/a> following the departure of the Williamses…and fails to mention Elizabeth Ames Jones at all. I can’t say that I blame them.\n
  • Speaking of Jones, she continues her interview tour of small Texas newspapers with The Gonzales Cannon<\/em><\/a>.\n
  • VoteVets.org, the George Soros-funded Democratic Party front group<\/a>, has sent out a fundraising appeal for Ricardo Sanchez<\/a>. Some lefty sorts, still bitter<\/a> over Abu Ghraib<\/a>, are less than enthused.\n
  • Speaking of Sanchez, Matt S. Dowling thinks he’s been so silent the last few months that he puts his face on a milk carton<\/a>.\n
  • Anyone know what happened to The Race to Replace Kay Bailey Hutchison<\/a>? Neither the blog nor the Twitter feed has been updated since June 2…\n
  • Today is the last day for donations to be recorded in the current fundraising quarter, so it wouldn’t be a bad time to donate to the candidate of your choice in whatever races they’re running in. I’ll report on the Senate total as soon as they’re up (expect them to start trickling out about the middle of July), but in the meantime, here are some nifty charts<\/a> the FEC put up for the first quarter fundraising efforts.\n<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
