Texas Runoff Results Ron Paul Wins When Ted Cruz Wins

The vote tally is coming in for the Texas GOP Senate runoff between Ted Cruz and David Dewhurst, and all indications point to a surprise Cruz victory in the contest.

Just 18 months ago, Cruz was a long-shot to win the Texas Senate seat, but now he looks poised to pull off the biggest upset until now in the 2012 election by taking down the well-known lieutenant governor David Dewhurst.

In a poll released Monday, ahead of the runoff, Cruz held a 10-point lead over Dewhurst.

For live results of the election, see here.

A Cruz victory represents a major rebuke to Texas governor and former Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, who has supported Dewhurst, and a major victory for Sarah Palin, who has supported Cruz. According to the Public Policy Polling survey, 31% of voters say they would vote for a candidate endorsed by Palin, compared to only 24% who say they’re more likely to vote for Perry’s choice.

But there’s also one other Republican candidate presidential candidate who is likely to see a boost as a result of the Cruz victory: Ron Paul.

Rick Perry – 3%
Michele Bachmann – 2%
Rick Santorum – 1%
Gary Johnson – less than 1%

Results were announced tonight at a GOP fundraiser event with Herman Cain speaking. The Oklahoma Straw Poll was a fundraiser event crossing over multiple days and permitting a vote with a $5 minimum donation to the Oklahoma GOP. Matt Pinnell is the chair of the Oklahoma Republican Party and hosted the event. The first announcement was made on twitter by Carla N. Wade here and confirmed by people on the ground.  It is now posted on the Oklahoma GOP website. “R3publicans congratulate Dr. Paul and his Oklahoma team for a solid win and for his consistent voice for constitutional limited government and personal responsibility through many years,” said Sandra Crosnoe as she went on to welcome supporters of other candidates to work with us when the time is right. There is room in this grassroots movement for everyone to have a voice. The GOP will continue to grow by leaps and bounds as independents realize that the GOP will welcome them ‘home’. We will need everyone to help limit the size and scope of a big government out of control and crushing the taxpayer under the burden.
