I think Cornball will win 65 percent upfront, same as McConnell. I wish it were not so. What is your thinking? I imagine I’ll vote for Stockman, but I think he would lose the general election. Stovall would be okay, but he would lose the general election too in my opinion. And I don’t even know who the Democrat candidate is.

The dems have the following in their primary and I don’t know them either.

David Alameel
Maxey Scherr
Michael “Fjet” Fjetland
Kesha Rogers
Harry Kim

I’m not in TX any longer so I don’t have a real feel for the campaign. Like
you I think Cornyn will win in the primary without a runoff. Stockman
may be the nearest challenger but he’s not senator material imo. Others
obvisiously have a different opinion.

Thanks for your response.

Here's a 4 page article about Stockman that delves into his past which a lot
of people don't know. I was in his district when he defeated Jack Brooks
in 95 and then lost to Nick Lampson the following election. Stockman
flies under the radar a lot as this article points out. The author I know
nothing about but he is from Austin so that may say something.
