Thank you, jim, for the ping.
Obviously, Cornyn needs every vote he can get, and playing the “underdog” role probably helps.
I am not following the depressing popular msm polling, but I do follow your own more hopeful polling sources.
Surely, surely, we can pull off a run-off at least. Probably, Stovall is by all reports, less risky in a run off, though anyone can blow up their own opportunity.
Cornyn can be slick at election time, as always, and Stockman may be all zeal with little or no campaign finess. We have to get votes in a state wide campaign. Maybe Stovall can bring some voters along, beyond only the base?
Cruz was more than a conservative ideolog— he was a vote getter, and a very high caliber campaigner. We need more of those types representing conservatives so well.
Mapp’s comments really shook up the polling. Now it won’t affect all the early voters, but this could be fun. Cornyn is now polling below 50% and closer to 40% right now.
Big margin of error, but I’ll post this morning’s polling numbers anyway just for fun:
Cornyn 37%
Stockman 33%
Mapp 17%

I’ll update when things get a little more stable and I’ll show the other guys.
