Tea Party candidate and lawyer Ted Cruz has beaten establishment Republican David Dewhurst in a primary to fill the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Could this be a further bell weather signalling that the Tea Party and the grass roots movement to remove Republican incumbents out of sink with the base is still going strong?
"Out of Sink?" LOL...
I hope so. The more divided the GOP becomes, the better it is for the
modreates/liberals left in the GOP and otherwise. The Country is a center-right country in some parts and center-left in others. As the GOP splits, it's power (or more correctly perceived power) becomes split as well.
Good news. Dewhurst losing is likely the first in many dominoes that will fall in states that have been infected with this virus.
As with all infections; the infection is alleviated or eventually the host dies. Both are wins for the voices of moderation.
