Every time PPP polls Texas the Republican Senate primary gets closer and closer. What was a 29 point lead for David Dewhurst in September has now been cut all the way down to 12 points. Dewhurst is at 38% to 26% for Ted Cruz, 8% for Tom Leppert, and 7% for Craig James.

They don't even mention Addison; they combined all but the top four candidates into the category "someone else". "Someone else" gets 4% in this poll.

I'd prefer Cruz to Dewhurst. No question about that.

As long as Dewhurst gets less than 50% it will force a runoff between Dewhurst/Cruz (assuming they are the top two). If you vote for Addison in the primary, please consider voting for Cruz in the runoff.

This is such great news. We can not have a Senator Dewhurst.

Just throwing in again my 2 cents that David Dewhurst is a slimy, yellow-bellied, scum-sucking piece of male bovine fecal matter.

In sharp contrast, Ted Cruz is a constitutionalist, conservative, and has a strong record on some key issues.
