And here’s your final Texas Senate Race update for 2012! I’ve been covering this race since Kay Bailey Hutchison decided not to run again on January 13, 2011.
I expect Ted Cruz to beat Paul Sadler handily (and here’s my endorsement of Cruz). Later today I hope to have a prediction up on just how well I expect him to do.
Last poll shows Cruz leading Sadler 57%-36%.
Cruz picks up the endorsements of Texas mayors.
Sen. John Cornyn backs Cruz, but may be wary of the rising power of the Tea Party he represents. As well he should.
Paul Sadler managed to raise more money for his 2004 Texas Senate race than his 2012 U.S. Senate race. (Repeated from last week’s LinkSwarm.)
Sadler finally buys some ads a week before the election. Note how Robert T. Garrett references the previous item, but doesn’t have the decency to link to it.
Sadler gets in some last minute hispandering by pushing amnesty down on the border.
Perry vs. World wonders why Sadler’s ads suck so badly.
In his ad, Sadler asks if Texans really want to elect a Tea Party candidate. I suspect voters will answer overwhelmingly in the affirmative.
