... but I wish the GOP presidential nominee had sent a statement like this to my inbox: WASHINGTON--U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made the following statement Thursday regarding the decision by the California Supreme Court to allow same-sex marriages: "This decision by activist judges in California has the potential to adversely affect the institution...

... Dorgan (D-ND). Compared to a die-hard neo-fascist like Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Jim DeMint (R-SC) or John Cornyn (R-TX), Obama seems progressive but his voting record paints a clearly and unmistakably mainstream, moderate picture. By way of comparison, Hillary's rank is #29 OK, you may say, did he turn right in the last session because he wanted to trick Americans into thinking he isn't...

... now show Texas Democratic Senate candidate Rick Noriega well withing range of incumbent Republican John Cornyn. I feel this is about party preference right now more so than any real insight into Mr. Noriega or Mr. Cornyn. Many Texans are ready to move on from the Republican Party. The difference between the forward-looking Mr. Noriega and the deeply right-wing Mr. Cornyn...

~Snooper~ Senator John Cornyn Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison Congressman Sam Johnson You have been staunch supporters of our military and the Global War On Terror. For that, I thank you but I would appreciate it if you would relay a message to the very few Conservatives that remain in the very Dishonorable Halls of what was once an Honorable Congress. There was a time when the Representatives...

... Texas, two new polls show challenger state Rep. Rick Noriega within the margin of error with Sen. John Cornyn. While those numbers are certainly troubling, Texas is an extremely expensive state, meaning that national Democrats would have to make a much more significant commitment to help make Noriega competitive. What's more, Cornyn's fundraising advantage makes the money race...

Put the Texas Senate race on your radar screen, and open up your wallets (please). Democratic candidate, Rick Noriega is already running a very strong race against the GOP incumbent, John Cornyn, who is one of the nastiest and most right wing Republicans in the Senate (think: Santorum, but dumber). Cornyn once said that violence against judges is understandable (remember that...

An Austin American-Statesman blog reported yesterday that former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has darkened the state’s doorway, appearing at separate fund-raisers for Republican presumptive Presidential nominee John McCain and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). There are multiple advantages to huddling with Texas’ right-wing political contributors, not foremost among...

With a second poll out, there are some more positive responses about the state of Texas. DSCC: Two Polls Show Noriega in Dead Heat John Cornyn has turned his back on Texans for six years, and now Texans are returning the favor. If these polls tell us anything, it's that John Cornyn should be very nervous because Texans are ready for new leadership. MyDD: Second Poll Puts...

I’ve learned the hard way (thanks to many LST members) to view political polls with a large dose of skepticism. Added to that the fact that Daily KOS is nothing more than a shill for far left political views and I came away laughing at their poll that claims to show Rick “The Chosen One” Noriega within striking distance of Sen. John Cornyn. Take a look at some of their purported findings...

Rick Noriega's had an excellent week-including two separate polls showing him within 4 points of Junior John Cornyn. That's got the national Netroots (at Dkos and elsewhere) very excited. Rick's campaign blog is kicking into gear as well, and to cap off the week, Rick himself will be liveblogging over at the Great Orange Satan this afternoon. 2 p.m. Eastern, 1 Central.

A second poll confirms what the first one earlier this week revealed: Republican voters do not support a second term for John Cornyn as US Senator from Texas. Even though Texas isn't yet in play for the Democratic nominee, a far greater number of Lone Star conservatives would vote for amnesty for illegal aliens, 100 more years in Iraq, more reactionary judges on the Supreme Court and...
