The NY Times is concern trolling:
Cruz Breaks With Senate Tradition While Criticizing Colleagues (emphasis added):
In his short time at the Capitol, Senator Ted Cruz, a freshman Republican from Texas, has shown little regard for long-standing rules of decorum. But on Friday, he publicly discussed the closed-door dealings of the Senate Republican Conference...
The mainstream media, egged on by Democrats, is trying to pin the “McCarthy” label on Ted Cruz.
It doesn’t matter whether there is a basis, all that matters is that there’s a name connection made.
It’s a meme started by the usual cabal of ...
Ted Cruz is making all the right enemies, and they are out for him often and early.
For Marco Rubio the meme is WATER, for Cruz it’s NASTY.
The title of this NY Times article originally was Ted Cruz Runs Counter To The Senate’s Courtly Ways, but the title was changed to Texas...
Look at how dreamy Morning Joe treats Elizabeth Warren’s “grilling” of bank regulators (it hardly was a grilling, just a single inane gotcha question she repeated over and over for dramatic effect):

Now contrast that with how Morning Joe treats Ted...
Chuck Hagel was an embarrassment yesterday at this confirmation hearing. John Podhoretz has it right:
Well, as a result of this confirmation hearing — the most disastrous of its kind since another veteran senator, John Tower, blew himself up in his pursuit of the same post back in 1989 — Hagel has...

Dear SarahPAC Supporter,
Together, we made history this November! Our victory in the U.S. Senate race in Texas was a remarkable testament to the conservative grassroots.
We started out as underdogs in a long, competitive primary. But despite the odds being stacked against us, Governor...
Ted Cruz was the insurgent Tea Party – supported candidate running against the more establishment David Dewhurst.
If we followed the establishment advice to keep the seat safe, we would not have this rising star in office. The same is true for Marco Rubio and other next-generation Republican leaders.
While there were...
Ted Cruz won a stunning victory tonight.
Twitter was abuzz.
But one Tweet with a photo seemed to capture the night.

The Dewhurst campaign released an internal poll earlier today showing Dewhurst up:
With less than two days until the runoff for the GOP nomination in the Texas Senate race, Lt. Gov David Dewhurst has a narrow lead over rival Ted Cruz, according to a Dewhurst campaign internal poll obtained by Hotline...

Turnout in this week of early voting for the Republican senate runoff in Texas is looking to be more than double what it was last year. Some say high turnout will favor Dewhurst over Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz, in a sense “diluting the Tea.”
I understand, from a far distance, that the anti-Ted Cruz ads have been pretty brutal. This report by National Journal, Four Signs of Cruz-mentum, indicates the last few days will be the worst yet:
Dewhurst’s Allies Are Throwing The Kitchen Sink At Cruz: The main super PAC supporting Dewhurst, the Texas Conservatives...
