I got the impression that the journalist could not have written a more negative article about Kirk.
Did you see near the bottom where they are talking about "gangsta rap" and how some obscure rapper that i'd expect < 1% of white VOTERS know is "more popular than Colin Powell". Not to mention him hanging out with black racists.
These wont help him - it's a millstone around his neck.
Remember, even a lily white Democrat gets 80-90% of the black vote in Texas. Kirk running up the score and maybe running up the black turnout will NOT help him much, he needs support from the white community. Communing with rappers and black race-baiters is about a desperate and dumb as it gets.
Uggg.. Kirk's attempt to be a moderate is falling flat.
btw, Cornyn ran his latest ads, first time I saw it was last night - Kirk is anti-Bush tax, Cornyn=Bush, and Kirk is against conservative judges. Mentions the Iraq comments where Kirk was a bonehead and talked about sending rich kids first, then "regretted it". And Called Kirk a LIBERAL and 'not ready' for senate. About f--ing time!

my syntax got garbled in describing the Cornyn ad:
Kirk is anti-Bush tax cut is how Cornyn ad made it sound. Actually, Kirk has been a waffler and all over the map on this, saying different things at different times. But Kirk has opposed making the tax cut permanent and has questioned the Bush tax cuts even while claiming at one time that he would have voted for it.
Kirk wants higher taxes, he just tries to find weasel words to avoid getting pegged that way during election season. In this respect his behavior is the same as other weasel liberal Demcorats like Carnahan of MO or Torch of NJ.

LOL ! Good deal. I haven't seen it, but I keep the tube on FOX News Channel.
I think all Kirk needs now is to change his mind and get bill and hill in here to campaign for him. That'll finish him off !
