There is a new meteor in the Texas sky. Ted Cruz, originally thought not to have a chance, has won the Republican nomination for the Senate. He started as an unknown, but picked up the support of Rand Paul and the Tea Party. A brilliant conservative, he has written 70 briefs to the Supreme Court. His known causes are, states rights, posting the Ten Commandments on public property, and having the pledge be said at public schools. Anyone from Texas can do the math.
