....shows high energy on the Republican side.

Looks like it's maintaining a better than 2:1 ratio. I hope this translates to disaster for Cornyn.

I’ll second the motion!

I hope this translates to disaster for Cornyn.

Will it? I don't live in Texas or even an early vote state, but if I did and I wanted to oust Cornyn, I'd wait until the last possible minute to vote so I could see how the winds were blowing - I'd want to make sure I voted for the guy most likely to unseat Cornyn. A lot can happen in a primary and an early vote could be wasted.

I was thinking about that.

I expect Cornyn is too.

It’s on the minds of the people over at Slate too. The author interviewed Cornyn, it’s quite interesting.

Cornyn’s flooded radio, cable and network stations nonstop with campaign ads and anti-Stockman ads. Cornyn is sweating - chances he’ll have to face-off in a run-off [must win 50% to be the GOP candidate] are pretty high.

He saw what Sen Cruz and the Tea Party did to heavily favored and funded Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in the race to fill retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s seat.
