It really should have been on Pay-per-view.
I wonder — is Dick Cheney watching the voting?
update: AP calls it for Cruz with 20% reporting.
No word yet on whether Dick Cheney has called that a mistake.

AOSHQDD call: Cruz has won the runoff
Cue the clip of Shirley Manson singing ‘Stupid Girls’ to a montage of Sarah Palin pictures on CNN.
oh my
Cruz serves Chick-fil-A at victory party
Heh.
WHOOO! I’m going to Chic Fil A tomorrow! Gonna buy me a a party tray of their nuggets and pass them out to my… no! Fuck that, I’m just going to eat them all.

WOOT!
Texas to a Tea!
Also, a long-time RINO stalwart was ousted from the Texas State Senate tonight: Jeff Wentworth. He’s the John McCain of Texas, and will not be missed.
Looks like the PPP poll may hold up at 10 points

Cruz winning is a big deal for the Texas Tea Party but perhaps bigger is State Senate District 25 …Donna Campbell has won in her first try at politics by defeating a two decade RINO incumbent
Huh? First try? I thought already Donna Campbell ran against Lloyd Dogget in 2010?
Hey Rick! Put your finger in the air and discover which way the wind if blowing would ya? Are you only opportunistic when it might win the left a favor?
So, I hear the Tea Party is dead. Anybody got anything on that?
So, I hear the Tea Party is dead
it is pining for the fjords i tell you. it is norwegian red
SaaWEEET and sour souce!
Let’s all eat mor chikin;)
Tomorrow when I go to Chick-fil-a I plan on ordering the number one. But instead of pickles, I’m going to order it “bare assed and ready to ride.”
I had Chik-fil-a for lunch for the first time Friday. Then I had it again for dinner. The closest and only one anywhere near me is 43 miles away. This is not acceptable.
Wasn’t there a recent Politico piece on GOP “moderates” bitching about the awful TEA party tack of their leadership?
Eyeballs meet handwriting-on-the-wall
Yeah, I’m engaging in a touch of gloating, it’s a little thing in the grand scheme, but also a positive in a sea of negatives. I hope the squishes are floating in their urine soaked Gucci loafers right about now.
And yes, I’m inebriated and seriously considering a second stogie.
Dinner tomorrow will most certainly be Chick-fil-a.
“I had Chik-fil-a for lunch for the first time Friday.”
It ain’t half bad is it? When I was a little kid there was one on the mall and when my parents took me to the mall I’d lobby ’em for a sammitch. And I was OBNOXIOUS about it too. Now the mall is being converted into a community college campus or something.
– Sinxe the Wonce will be ready for the fork by then, I still wish we could see a floor fight at the convention with some decent T-P candidates put up for grabs, but taking back the Senate would be good too.

Sarah Palin issued the following statement on Facebook:
Congratulations to Ted Cruz! This is a victory both for Ted and for the grassroots Tea Party movement. This primary race has always been about the kind of leadership we need in D.C. Our goal is not just about changing the majority in the Senate. It is about the kind of leadership we want. Ted Cruz represents the kind of strong conservative leadership we want in D.C. Go-along to get-along career politicians who hew the path of least resistance are no longer acceptable at a time when our country is drowning in debt and our children’s futures are at stake. The message of this race couldn’t be clearer for the political establishment: the Tea Party is alive and well and we will not settle for business as usual. Now, it’s on to November!

Hobbits scoured another shire bungalow last night. Sharky and Wormtongue are looking worried.
I reckon Sauron’s getting a bit uncomfortable, too.
She went to Idaho State? (aren’t they the Vandals?) anyway, most liberals have no idea Idaho has more people than moose and assume her degree must be in livestock wrangling and 4H projects
Palin went to the University of Idaho (also NIC in Couer d’Alene.) The U of I is in Moscow, Idaho. But the w is silent, so it rhymes with Bosco.
Last time Dick Cheney called something a mistake was after he shot a guy in a fowl hunting accident. I’m just saying.
But yes, she is a Vandal.
ISU is the Bengals.
“I reckon Sauron’s getting a bit uncomfortable, too.”
You didn’t forge those rings of power on your own. Somebody else did that.
11 points? Yowza.
– The ‘Tea baggers’ bag another one. Maybe that attempted pejorative from the Left may turn out, to their everlasting dismay, to be profetic. Lets hope!
Well, Dewhurst would have been a clear mistake, but, and I’m prepared to be happily wrong, I fully expect to find that Mr. Cruz is just the stealth RINO.
Heh!
When the Left decided to use Palin’s signature ethics reform legislation to paralyze her administration, they must have thought they beat her so badly they hounded her right out of office. Yeah, she’s just an irrelevant has-been. So irrelevant that nearly everyone she endorses wins.
“Strike me down, and I shall become more powerful than you can imagine!” -Obi Wan Kenobi
Ah.
See… my left coast bias kept me from getting it all correct.
Moscow, which I suppose she could see from her porch… was across the Palouse? from Wash. St. Another cow college full of hicks and rubes but at least having doormat status in the old Pac-10…
Alas across the river in Moscow Idaho?
A major in 4H clubs and gunsmithing… probably.
I remain aghast at her lack of modern education
Her degree was in sports journalism or communications wasn’t it?
– I think her true degree was in driving the LeftScum absolutely head explodydope nuts.
So her degree in communications, a relatively modern profession, educated her in that fine art.
“cow college full of hicks and rubes”
Now now, Keith Olberman was a graduate of Cornell ( the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences AKA the State Ag school).
Hicks and rubes confound smug boobs.
Dinner for my houseful from Chick-fil-A on Wednesday
If the crowd looks heavier than usual, I’ll have my little pocket video cam to record it.
Apparently there are Chic Fil As in Denver, I see three on the Google map. One very close, walking distance.
The thing is whenever I have something like that the whole time I’m thinking I can do as well myself if not better easily enough, it’s one of the simpler things, plus have all the exotic spicy elements that make life worth living exactly how I like them, as a matter of fact a chicken breast sounds pretty good right now.
Spiced up so much of my favorite things all together at once so that the palate is teased, challenged, panicked and satisfied, host to a party, that you might as well call it a curry.
Then I don’t even need a stupid ol’ foam bread bun. I can make my own excellent rolls or make quick pan bread or pita or tortilla right there like *snap* fresh bread just like that however I’d like it, and if there is time enough to go even slower and ferment character right into the dough. And you just don’t see that much anymore. You do see it, but not much. Overnight makes a huge difference. Right there would be a an improvement over most anything I could get outside. It makes a difference. A magnitude of order difference. A few days fermentation borders on sourdough territory. And even that fermented to sourdough but started with commercial yeast will have more sourdough character than you get in bakery departments and boulangeries.
But why are we talking about Chic Fil A? Are they connected? Is this one of those Gods of the Copybook Headings things?
Because if it is, let the caterwauling begin.
My congressman and both legislators were pretty much elected outright yesterday — no Democrat opponents in November.
Of course, there’s still the write-in vote. Be a damned shame to wake up November 6 to discover my congressman will be Che Guevara or Bill Maher, because everyone sane was so overconfident of the outcome they stayed home altogether.
This makes it sound like the chain was spoiling for a political battle, when in fact my understanding is that Truett Cathy merely answered a question about his own personal views.
Brian Ross is reporting that non Tea Party members were afraid to come to the polls, due to fear following the recent theater shooting by a known and prominent member of the Colorado Tea Party.
Yes, he answered a direct question about the topic in an interview with Biblical Reporter.
This is 100% manufactured bullshit and it’s backfiring.
Anyone can feel free to point out the hate in Cathy’s comments. I submit that all of it is in the reactions thereto.
…it’s backfiring.
Did you see the firey Baptist preachers on the teevee yesterday? All of whom were black, incidentally. They told Rahm to bring it and Obama to shove it.
It was a thing of beauty.
Chick Filet was overflowing with people this morning- they looked like my kind of people- you know, the ones up at a reasonable hour,going to work, being productive, building things themselves, providing for their families. Not a transvestite in sight.
I’ll be having a salad and a lemonade from there tonight. Its sort of funny that the gay lobby has almost certainly delivered Chick Filet its most profitable day of the year.
Pablo, you’re right- there’s no hate. I think this is more about Christians then gays- the gay angle has given the left a chance to take a shot at those intolerant hateful Christians, who they see as the enemy (you see, Christians tell them “no” sometimes and they don’t like hearing the word “no”). How dare you run your business based on Christian principles? How dare you deny chicken to the poor on Sundays because of some misguided attempt at respect for some imaginary being in the sky. You didn’t build that business, somebody else did and it wasn’t some imaginary being.
Funny how you don’t see an outcry against Muslim owned businesses, where said muslim is devout, especially in light of Islam’s slightly more radical solution to the problem of homosexuality.

I saw it on Faux News.Did it make it anywhere else?
Which, if not, is funny, because a Jesse Jackson can have five people show up to a protest and it will be covered by everyone.
They’ll probably revoke Rick Perry’s Establishment RINO card since he declined to follow in the footsteps of Mike Castle et al.
Perry had to have taken a look at the polling numbers PPP had on his endorsement. It was more a negative than a positive for Texas Republicans.
He’s a survivor, though. Just point him in the direction the wind is blowing.
Oh, there’s hate alright. As Glenn Reynolds remarked, “For the left, it’s always Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, the Kochs. It doesn’t matter who the bogeyman is, but it’s essential that there be a bogeyman in order to ensure solidarity.”
Well, fascists need a target to hate, right?
Hey, Jeff, I’ll happily help keep a boot in Perry’s ass. At least with him it will apparently do some good….
