Here is an in-depth analysis of Ted Cruz's victory yesterday by a lefty who should probably remain in the shallow end of the writer's pool with his water wings firmly attached.
The headline claims that with Cruz's selection by the Republicans and probable election in the Fall general election, the Senate will become a lot more conservative. Yet our intrepid author says Cruz's positions were hardly different from Dewhurst's.
Kilgore's point comes through his prose but dimly: Cruz's victory hammers home the Lugar message that the conservative wing of the party is not prepared to compromise with the Spendican wing. No one should be wondering where the tea party is, now.
Maybe that's why FreedomWorks' President Matt Kibbe's new book is titled Hostile Takeover.
