Good evening from Austin, Texas.
Another long day, what can I say.
Here are your two must reads for today:
> AP reports on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) speech at a fundraiser for the Iowa Republican Party in Des Moines tonight. Newly launched from the Cruz operation: http://www.MakeDCListen.com.
> David Frum thinks a Cruz-Christie ticket could win in 2016.
> State Sen. Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands) made his resignation official tonight. May special?
