The Year of the Tea Party Senators continues
We have called this year the year of the Tea Party Senator. As we had conservatives sweep into the House in 2010, Tea Party Senators are set to sweep into the Senate this year and will change things up in Washington
What is happening now?
From the Daily Caller:
Ted Cruz now holds a solid 10-point lead over his opponent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst heading into Tuesday’s Senate Republican primary.
A Public Policy Polling poll released Monday found the former Solicitor General, Cruz, with 52 percent support to Dewhurst’s 42 percent. The numbers show continuing momentum for Cruz, who two weeks ago led by half that margin: 49 percent to 44 percent.
Dewhurst will head into Tuesday already disadvantaged, as Cruz leads 55 percent to 40 percent among voters who cast a ballot during the past week in early voting. Unfortunately for him, Cruz also leads 49-44 among voters who plan to vote on Tuesday.
Cruz holds a whopping lead among the tea party, which has served as his base for much of the primary. He also leads among younger voters. Dewhurst leads among non-tea partiers and seniors.
The poll validates the Cruz campaign’s strategy of pushing for a run-off and winning in a midsummer, low-turn out race, where the candidate with the most enthusiastic supporters would be victorious. Indeed, “very excited” voters support Cruz over Dewhurst 63 percent to 33 percent, a group that composes 50 percent of Republicans, according to the poll.
Cruz has a smaller lead among “somewhat excited” voters. Dewhurst leads among the “not that excited” voters, but they compose only 21 percent of likely primary voters polled by PPP. And, as “not that excited” voters already lack enthusiasm, it’s possible they will not turnout to vote in the first place.
The race, which has attracted attention from conservatives nationwide, has also turned into something of a proxy way between two of the biggest names in Republican politics. Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Cruz, the poll finds, makes 31 percent of voters more likely to vote for him, while 24 percent are less likely.
The good news is we are sending some good conservatives to Washington. When Cruz wins the primary tomorrow, he will effectively win the seat as Texas is a deep red state. In Indiana, Richard Mourdock defeated the crown prince of the RINO’s, Richard Lugar and he does have an opponent in the fall election. Joe Donnelly, a liberal Indiana Congressman who would have lost his reelection bid for Congress, is fighting for the Senate seat. Mourdock should take that seat but it will not be as easy as Cruz’s general election battle. In Nebraska, Deb Fischer is facing retread liberal Bob Kerry. In Ohio, a great young conservative, Josh Mandel is taking on one of the worst members of the Senate, far left wing nut Sherrod Brown.
The Senate is going to be different in January. Not only will the Republicans take control but this Senate will be a more conservative Senate.
Hopefully a conservative Senate and a conservative House can save us from taxageddon, Obamacare and the damage done by the Party of Treason for the last four years.

Thanks, Sally. May God bless our local and state elections!
If we HAVE elections come November, I hope we see Sarah on the ticket, called in Tampa, since she is the obviously perfect Nominee. Mitt ain't it.

Those are great pics Helen. Sarah is a good woman and patriot. I missed seeing her last week, at FreePac, but attended the last 2 days of Restoring Love. Which promoted Ted Cruz (yea) and Glenn just announced there will be a big event in Ohio in Sept. I bet he promotes Josh Mandel for Congress(yea).

Most of the incumbent Congress has to go. They are letting Obama get away with this.

Voted for Allen for governor and senator when I lived there. He would (again) make a great senator, but watch out for the libs trying to resurrect the so-called racist "macaca" moment that sank him last time.

TEA Partiers in Texas are going to prove the PPP Poll wrong. We're going to give Ted Cruz a 20+ point win tomorrow. With any luck, this will be RINO David Dewhurst's last political campaign and he will fade into a well deserved obscurity.
TED CRUZ FOR US SENATE!
