Nearly as high as the primary
From the
Austin American-Statesman, "Surprisingly high turnout in Republican runoff didn't help Dewhurst":
More than 1.1 million Republican voters cast ballots in the runoff in which tea party favorite Ted Cruz trounced Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst to become the Republican candidate for the state's next U.S. Senator. That's about 8.5 percent of registered voters and nearly as high a turnout as the Senate primary itself, which drew just more than 1.4 million votes.
"Turnout was higher than most people expected," said Mark Jones, political science chairman at Rice University. "All the discussion of the heat of July causing voters to wilt — in the end, Texas functions in July."
Editor's note - Added to the overwhelming turn-out for the Chick-fil A counter-protests, and Scott Walker's big victory in Wisconsin in June, all un-anticipated by the pundits, a good portend for the right in November?

Yup, there's that u-word again, Eric. Chuck has it right: this will be a landslide.
Everything seems to be pointing that way. Think of this way, How many independents are counting the days until November 7 so they can vote for more of what these assholes have been doing for the last four years? How about Republicans. Do you know a sane one who's ambivalent about voting against wee Lord Brakabama in November?
Democrat turnout is going to be for shit this year. Republican turnout is going to be historic. I smell a mandate in the making.
Keep in mind that Ross Perot elected Clinton twice. Any candidate other than poor old John McCain could've beat the living shit out of Brakabama in 2008. Most of the hype about Brakabama being some great politician is pure bullshit. He sucks. Hillary Clinton would have beaten him if not for the super delegate fix the democrat party used to nominate the little boy king.
Still my main fear is what this filthy little son of a bitch is going to do after he's beaten. He'll have two months to wreak carnage on this nation he despises.
