There is no movement the liberal media has been more eager to see disappear than the Tea Party. Back in February, before the Tea Party took out Sen. Dick Lugar in Indiana and Attorney General Jon Bruning in Nebraska, Newsweek published a story proclaiming, “The Tea Party is Dead.” Texas voters will have the honor of proving Newsweek wrong, again, today.
Two months ago, the establishment favorite, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, beat former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz 45 percent to 34 percent in the Texas Republican primary for U.S. Senate. But since Dewhurst did not reach the 50 percent required to avoid a runoff under Texas law, Texas Republicans will go to the polls today to pick a final winner. And all indications are that Republicans are going to the polls in record numbers. ABC News reports that in Harris County, 70,000 Republicans voted early or by mail in the runoff, meaning nearly 9 of every 10 primary voters showed up for the run-off.
