A few quick updates on the Texas Senate Race:<\/p>\n

  • Dewhurst sounds like he’s in<\/a>, to be made official “midweek.”\n
  • So also says the Denton County GOP chair<\/a>…\n
  • …who will be hosting a Senate forum<\/a> with Ted Cruz, Tom Leppert, Elizabeth Ames Jones, Lela Pettinger, and (presumably) Dewhurst.\n
  • Jason Embry in the Statesman<\/i> joins the chorus<\/a> of those saying that Cruz has the momentum in the race.\n
  • Ex-senate candidate Michael Williams Q2 fundraising report<\/a> is up. He raised a respectable $550,018, which would have been better than his Q1 numbers, but still behind Cruz and Leppert.
