Texas Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz appears to be winning over David Dewhurst.
The Texas Tribune has a shot of some of the reading material at Cruz’ watch party:

The sun did not shine. The Iraq war dragged on.

Our once great economy was almost all gone.
I sat there with Franklin. We sat there, we two.
I wished, at that moment, for somebody new.
The “big tent” Republicans kept expanding the state.
And the health of our country was quite far from great.
So all we could do was to
FRET
FRET
FRET
FRET!
We did not like Bush! Didn’t care whom we’d get!

CHANGE!!!!
someone yelled! “CHANGE” Oh How that “change” sounded strange.
We looked at the TV, and saw him thereat.
WE LOOKED, and we saw him A NEW DEMOCRAT!

He said to us “Why are you frowning like that?”
“I know you are poor, and the outlook’s not sunny,
But we can have fun with OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY!
“I know some good games we could play” said the cat
I know some good tricks” said this new Democrat
“We can bail out the banks.” I’ll find the money with ease.
We can borrow it all from our friends the Chinese”

Then Franklin and I did not know what to say.
The voters don’t want to be governed this way.
Then Glenn Beck said “NO, NO!” Make that fool go away!
Tell that Democrat cat that your grandkids will pay
his profligate of spending..
His lust for power and pelf..
He’s not helping you .
He cares for himself!”
“Now! Now! Have no fear” said the agent of ‘hope’
“My plans are not bad, now stop saying “NOPE”
We can stimulate everyone, If only you let.
with a game that I call
up
Up
UP with the DEBT!
