Ted Cruz beats Dewhurst in the Texas GOP runoff for Kay Bailey Hutchison's Senate seat.
To paraphrase Joe Biden, this is a BFD. In his victory speech, Cruz thanked a litany of figures that embody everything the left hates about us: Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rand Paul. He also thanked Martin Luther King. He also thanked Dewhurst for years of public service in the Air Force and as lieutenant governor.
Think about how many op-eds and off-the-cuff remarks there have been by establishment Pubs and certainly effete east-coast chin-rubbing "centrist analysts" to the effect that the Tea Party was a spent force. Two things about that: the actual Tea Party is quite viable and vibrant, thank you. My sister belongs to a Tea Party organization where she lives and it's quite active. But the Tea Party is merely the most visible embodiment of the real conservative foundation of America that will not be extinguished.
Walker won his recall, Mourdock beat Lugar, North Carolina codified its assertion that marriage is between one man and one woman, and now Cruz is the standard-bearer in the Texas Senate race.
America is stumbling to its feet, blinking its eyes, shaking its head - and reaching for its can of whup-ass.
