But he seemed to be the lesser of 2 evils (an unknown with very little political experience vs Dewhurst: an entrenched politico who seems to have undergone a gradual shift in political philosophy away from the conservative values that I favor). I can honestly say that I'm very pleasantly surprised by Senator Cruz's first few months in office & I hope that he keeps it up. When the old-guard GOP rinos are getting their panties in a wad about what he's doint, I think he's on the RIGHT track. I only wish that John Cornyn's seat were up in the cycle after next instead of 2014 so that Ted Cruz would have a chance to establish more seniority. But since Cornyn has seemed to take notice, it's not all bad.
There was a lot mud slinging against him during that election and I didn't know what to believe. I sure am glad we voted him in.
