Texas Land Commish Jerry Patterson Endorses David Dewhurst over Dan Patrick for Lt. Governor

[TexasTowelie]

t's not a secret: Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson does not like State Senator Dan Patrick. All the way back in early March, shortly after failing to win a runoff slot in the race for Lieutenant Governor, Patterson said:

"He will wholly be bad for Texas, bad for the Republican Party. We have two choices, and I will categorically tell you I'm not voting for Dan Patrick either in the primary or the general election. I'll vote Libertarian in November if I have to."

At the time, Patterson was not sure if he would endorse the incumbent, David Dewhurst, the man he was challenging over Patrick. Over this weekend, however, Patterson decided to solidify his opposition to Dan Patrick by endorsing Dewhurst for re-election, with just over three weeks remaining until the runoff concludes.

Read how Lieutenant Governor Dewhurst welcomed his new surrogate and see what negative mud he decided to throw at Dan Patrick in his endorsement after the jump.

1. Unfortunately Dan Patrick is my representative, I did not like him before he was elected and my

feelings has increased. He is a very disrespectful person and Texas does not need him to destroy our state.

2. Just goes to show: even a moron like Jerry Patterson can be correct, occasionally.

Dan Patrick is absolutely toxic, he's an AM Hate Radio jockey elevated to way more political responsibility than he's entitled to. So for the first and probably the only time: thank you, Jerry Patterson.

3. Dewhurst is the stronger general election candidate

I am betting that the GOP nominee for Lt. Governor will be Dan Patrick
