Texas is not held in high esteem in our ability lately to select smart / competent / serious / all of the above / candidates.

And the beat goes on.

The University of Texas and the Texas Tribune did a little polling last week and scared crap out of every sane person in Texas:  Ted Cruz is now leading Texas Republicans back to the future.

The good news is that Rick Perry is in fourth place.  The bad news is that Texas Republicans have found 3 men crazier but more likeable than Rick Perry.

In what has got to hurt Attorney General Greg Abbott a whole lot is that Rick Perry is still beating him 45 – 19 % in the GOP Gubernatorial primary.  Greg has spent more money than landing on Boardwalk with a hotel to deface my Facebook page with his anti-Obama ads.  Apparently, defacing Democrats’ Facebook pages is not as an effective campaign tool as first suspected.

Ted Cruz for President.  Really?  They do know that he doesn’t have an American birth certificate, right?
