Texas Primary Election Today

Some random stories related to the election. We'll discuss the results in 2305 and 2306 when we get back from spring break.

- Politico: Texas, our Texas: Primary day arrives.
- Fox News: Focus on GOP races as Texas holds first primary election of 2014.
- Dallas News: GOP poised to nominate staunchly conservative slate.
- Washington Post: 5 things to watch during Texas primary elections.
- The Texas Tribune: Primary Day Has Arrived: Here's What to Watch For.
- The Houston Chronicle: Weather could dampen voter enthusiasm at primary polls.

A dominant theme in all of these stories is whether the candidates selected by the Republican primary voters - the ones almost certainly likely to win in the general elections - will be so conservative that moderate and business oriented Republicans begin to back away from them.

We will know more tomorrow.
