TX-SEN

Not much commentary in this blog post, but a link to a captivating introduction video used by Michael Williams at the 2008 TX GOP Convention. This guy is great, combining a truly conservative approach to environmental conservation and energy regulation. He is currently TX Railroad Commissioner and is running for Hutchinson's soon-to-be-vacated US Senate seat. Here is the YouTube link:

There are some other clips of his speeches on his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/michaellwilliams (Michael L. Williams).

Let me know what you think.

I missed this on Monday, but Rhymes with Right blogged it. Remember how John Cornyn was supposed to be a target, with unknown Roger Noriega four points behind him? Well...

United States Senator John Cornyn has opened a seventeen percentage point lead in his bid for re-election. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state find Cornyn leading Democratic state legislator Rick Noriega 52% to 35%. That’s a significant improvement for the incumbent from a month ago when his lead dwindled to four percentage points.

Cornyn is supported by 86% of Republicans and has a two-to-one edge among unaffiliated voters. Last month, his lead among the unaffiliateds was just four percentage points. Noreiga attracts 72% of Democrats, down from 81% a month ago.

I'll expand on this in a coming post, but in the next couple of weeks I think we can expect to see Obama's numbers continue to rise while GOP Senate and House numbers improve. How?
