Is that little scamp, John Cornyn, running for office again? I wondered why he suddenly rediscovered his conservative roots...
Reporting from the Texas Hill Country ... Cornyn has started his re-election ads about a week ago. His frightfully incompetent decisions regarding who to support starting with the 2010 elections (Miller/Murkowski) thru his lack of support for Cruz today have his campaign staff seriously worried about John being primaried.
Cornyn’s challenger is Dwayne Stovall who has a decent war chest but is not a well known individual. My contact at Cornyn’s San Antonio office won’t divulge any actual numbers but she implies that Cornyn’s mail has changed tone from generally supportive to distinctly critical over the last few years.
While it would not be good to lose Cornyn’s seniority on the Senate committees he is a member of, it may be time to take the hit and vote in a fresh player, one whose loyalty is not in question.
