Palin-Endorsed Ted Cruz Wins in Texas; UPDATE: Governor Palin Congratulates Cruz

Governor Palin's endorsement of Ted Cruz helped turn his campaign around and allowed him to secure a run-off election against Dewhurst. Tonight, Cruz defeated Dewhurst in that election. So congratulations to Ted Cruz, the tea party candidate.

I'm reminded of what Rick Klein said on Fox News last night: An endorsement from Sarah Palin is golden." We continue to see the effects of her influence, in spite of how "irrelevant" her detractors say she is.
