The weird stat here is that females prefer Perry over Sanchez more than males.

Perry's a babe magnet.

At least, that's what my wife says.

More poll numbers for those inclined from RealClear Politics:

Senatah:

Texas (Open) Leans GOP
Poll	Date	Cornyn (R)	Kirk (D)	Spread
Survey USA	10/14-10/16	54%	42%	GOP +12
NBC 5	10/8-10/13	46%	36%	GOP +10
Zogby	10/9-10/11	45%	37%	GOP +8
NBC 5	9/30-10/6	56%	30%	GOP +26
Survey USA	9/30-10/2	54%	42%	GOP +12
Last 3 Polls	Average	48.3%	38.3%	GOP +10.0

The three most recent polls confirms Cornyn has a solid 10 point lead in this race. With President Bush as his trump card, it is very hard to see how Cornyn is not going to win this race.

Texas Safe GOP
Poll	Date	Perry (R)	Sanchez (D)	Spread
Survey USA	10/14-10/16	52%	43%	GOP +9
NBC 5	10/8-10/13	48%	34%	GOP +14
Zogby	10/9-10/11	52%	30%	GOP +22
FMM (D)	10/1-10/3	44%	41%	GOP +3
NBC 5	9/30-10/6	56%	29%	GOP +27
	Average	50.2%	35.6%	GOP 14.6

The NBC 5, Survey USA and Zogby poll shows Perry has solid control over this race. The Sanchez campaign took a further hit when Dan Morales, a prominent Hispanic-American Democrat and Sanchez's primary opponent,publicly endorsed Perry at a campaign stop in Houston. Sanchez says he will spend millions more of his own money over the next few weeks to try and make this race close. Don't count on it happening.

Hey Sink, just why did the Worth Star-Telegram and Houston Chronicle endorse Kirk? (That was posted on another site; if it ain't true, well, whatever.) They aren't lib papers are they, or are they? Given all of Kirk's problems, that really surprises me. Kirk may be a genial chap, who will try to keep his liberal tendencies under wraps, and only vote for the Dem party line when his vote is really needed (you know how that works), but Kirk doesn't really seem ready for prime time to me.

I invite comment from other Texas political junkies as well.
