Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI held my nose and voted
for a REPUKE today. David Dewhurst.
No worries, strategy voting. No way I can even fathom that tea party freak Ted Cruz on any other ballot.
I need a shower now. I feel dirty.

who needed your vote. Staples vs. Yarbourough. Yarbourough is horrible, and Staples is somebody we can support. Be a Democrat and support Democratic candidates.

I think he'll make it to the general election.I'm hoping if Cruz is on the red side,that the blue side will get more independents.
