Cruz and Dewhurst Agree to Third Televised Debate
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz have both agreed to a third televised debate on the first day of early voting in their hotly contested GOP runoff for an open U.S. Senate seat.
The King Street Patriots, a Houston-area Tea Party group, and Fox 26, a Houston-based affiliate, are scheduled to host a televised debate in front of a live audience Monday at 6 p.m. Details on airings statewide weren't immediately clear.
Both campaigns confirmed they would participate in Monday's event.
The two Republicans have already participated in two televised debates ...

Enough already.......TEXAS PLEASE LISTEN-UP. Re: the candidates for the US Senate to replace Kay Bailey Hutchinson who is retiring.
Why in the world would a sane person vote for either one of these clowns? Dewhurst says he thinks DICK Perry is the best Governor TEXAS has had in fifty years ((that makes Dewhurst either a bold faced liar or an imbicile) and Cruz is one of those Tea Party guys who is financed by the Club for Growth which is another underground organization (like ALEC) trying to do more damage to this wonderful country
THERE IS PAUL SADLER. a so much better candidate to consider for the Senate. Intelliigent, well educated, honest and experienced and absolutely what TEXAS needs right now. He is a level headed man, not some screeching extremist like so many of the people in out state government now. We , at least, with PAUL SADLER in the Senate, can start getting back to normal. Think about yourself and your family and the schools in this state. Think about TEXAS tarnished reputation, Lets give a pass on Republicans this go around. For the good of TEXAS.
PAUL SADLER is four-time selection by Texas Monthly as a Top 10 legislator in Austin. His specialtites were budgets and working effectively across party lines, both skills that seem lacking in 2012 Washington. A family man, he is the father of five. respected every where he is known , friendly and accessable to everyone. He served on the Legislative Budget Board and drew plaudits from everyone including former Governor George W. Bush.
We need to consider the man running against Paul Sadler. No one really knows who he is. He has this familiar name people recognize but he is not one of the Yarboroughs with excellent reputation in Texas. Ralph Yarborough served with distinction for the Democratic Party in the US Senate from 1957 to 1971. The , seems to me imposter, is Grady YARBROUGH His name is spelled differently but people are not noticing this. My honest opinion is that he seems to be some kind of a plant. Political game playing. The only Yarbrough I remember is Don Yarbrough, who won a seat on the Texas Supreme Court in 1977, but facing impeachment over forgery and other charges, served only six months on the bench. This Grady Yarbrough does not show up on the radar anywhere. Nor does his
website, no volunteers, no press releases and as far as I leaned no interviews.This is, as usual, going to be a low-turnout election it is imperative you vote. PAUL SADLER is the clear choice in this important race.
