Some conservatives, however, have criticized Cornyn for not doing more to help Tea Party-favored candidates such as Christine O’Donnell.

That's at least comprehensible. There was NO reason to not help Ken Buck or Joe Miller.

Republicans didn’t win because of him, they won in spite of him.

If Cornyn stays, support for the GOP should stop. Cornyn is the farthest left of any GOP Senator. As soon as the Senate is out of session, he runs to the Huffington Post to do an interview. This are his people. He think the healthcare bill is good, except for some cosmetic changes. His top Senate candidates in 2010 were: Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, and Lisa Murkowski.

This is a clear indication the GOP has NO intention of doing anything about Obamacare.

Texas needs to be grooming a good candidate to defeat this RINO.

We have a lot of work to do. This is not good news.

Too many career republicans and Cornyn’s dislike of the tea party is going to keep him in his position.

I am bitter about Buck most of all. Miller too. No excuse for either loss.

Cornyn and the NRSC will not get one penny from me until they change their tune. Just as sick of many of these Republican Senators as their Dem colleagues.

“We have a lot of work to do. This is not good news.”

I honestly question whether the GOP will be able to gain the majority in 2012 with him at the helm (even with all the Dems facing re-election). He is not a leader.

He needs to go.

As a Texan, I can say without hesitation that Cornball is an abomination. This guy is about as conservative as an alley cat.

Between Jan. 09 and Nov. 10 the NRSC raised $14.2M. I'm curious as to just where this $$ came from. Everyone I know has completely stopped donating to the NRSC and the RNC.

Michael Williams is a great conservative Texan who'd make a great replacement for Cornball.

Hutch and all the usual RINO suspects are coming to Cornball's defense. I find it reprehensible that they've (conservative senators) even allowed Cornball to be a co-signer of the new anti-earmark legislation (which DeMint's also on).

Cornball must be stopped. There are much better choices, Texas. Full speed ahead, Tea Party!

Former Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) has even floated Cornyn’s name as a promising presidential candidate in 2012.

ROTFLMAO!

I heard Michael Williams speak last year at a conference. He was excellent. (And of course, no teleprompter)

As for Cornyn, the GOP needs to eliminate the leadership by seniority (”it’s my turn”) philosophy.
