Nice analysis, and I’ve no doubt they have a boatload of stuff on Stockman.
There are five Senate seats that would be Republican today but for incompetent tea party candidates, one being Colorado and Michael Bennet, who had no business winning that seat. We’ll see if Ken Buck has found a vaccine for foot in mouth disease.
Hope for the best. That’s all one can do. Just getting Cornyn into a run-off
is a huge accomplishment. That alone will send a message to Cornyn
and the rest of the RINO’s.
So Texans, at least get him in a run-off.
Todd Akin was not a Tea Party candidate he was a stubborn idiot though.
turtle?
Bingo.
Stop It!!!! Get out there and quit worrying and vote out Cornyn. Only one worth a dime is Stovall. If we are going to worry about a turtle comparison with someone outside of Texas we have bigger problems. He is a big boy and can handle it, can you!!! Its time we can do BETTER!!!!
Todd Aiken shined a bright light and showed us the wickedness in this country. We showed him that you just can’t do that and still hope to win. And we want to win!
(Just don’t ask us whether what we win is worth having.)
No doubt a real closet Cornyn RINO supporter. Fits Cornyn’s incessant ads demonizing his opponents and stating his own conservative credentials.
Well, actions speak louder than words. Say what you will about Stockman’s loose cannon, but his voting record tells me what I need to know. He also has achieved beating a very entrenched senior Congressman when he defeated Jack Brooks.
A Republican like Cornyn who leads the Dems to victory over his fellow Senate GOP members like he did recently on removal of debt ceiling (giving the Dems a real-life wet dream) is not exactly the kind of person you want representing you. Like Boehner, he is leading the wrong party.
Cornyn was thought to have conservative credentials, but that was in retrospect in comparison to Kay Bailey. We found out what a real conservative acted like when Ted got onto the scene.
I had mused with what if last year Cruz had simply stepped down as Senator, letting Perry replace him with another in the Cruz-mold, then Ted announcing his candidacy for the Senate seat occupied by Cornyn.
Ted would win the primary in a landslide, we would have two conservative Texas Senators, and Cornyn would be placed into retirement to enjoy his three pensions he “earned”.
I wonder if you would still be voting for Cornyn.
And here's another IMPORTANT point..of the five southern primary races...Texas, SC, Miss, Tenn, and KY, realistically speaking, conservatives have the least chance to pull an upset in Texas. However,. because it's the FIRTST race, it's important, because it will resonate in the other states. You guys force Cornyn into a runoff, or even if you hold him to under 60%, and you're gonna inspire the tea Party folks in the other races..McConnell with s**t a brick...
Stockman is going to be the one that makes the runoff if Cornyn is held below 50%.
Congressman Todd Akin was doing OK until big mouth Willard started stirring up things for him and had the Conservatives eating one of their own..
not because Todd had done anything above a misunderstood statement that really didn’t hurt him that much in the polls till Willard intervened..
but because Todd is a Conservative (which Willard is not and never has been)
and Todd is pro-life (and which Willard is not and never has been)
and Willard was looking out as usual for Old Number One, yeah Willard..(and let the rest of the Republicans and the country go to you-know-where for all Willard could care...)
what Todd Akin said didn’t effect Willard but Willard like any other normal or garden variety Liberal knows that the good offence in a campaign is a crisis and if theres none make one and Willard also knows that sympathy is good for the polls..
so Willard latched a slight comment by Congressman Akin and made it into an international incident by screaming a crying like the girl he is..
Sandra Fluke and Wendy Davis on their worse PMS days could not have causes such a fuss...
and Willard got his crisis and Willard got his sympathy and Willard managed to claw himself into being the “spokesman” and “leader” and “statesman” for the GOP at that moment...
and the shame of it was the Conservatives mostly all fell in line behind him..if that’s possible since Willard is a “lead-from-behind kind of Liberal..
Willard of course got lots of free PR and he wailed on camera on cue and had almost everyone kissing his booboo and agreeing Congressman Akin was the most evil threat to freedom since 9/11..
But every time Willard claimed to speak for me he was lying...(When Willard speaks the thinking’s been done doesn’t work for free Americans)
I didn’t think the same hysterical opportunist liberal way Willard does and although Willard claimed to have a consensus “ALL of the country agree” etc Willard was a cowardly Obama-style liar as usual ...
Needless to say Willard got rid of a real Conservative in MO and did what he set out to do...the GOP didn’t get the Senate..
The enemy of the Conservatives and the Republicans in that instance was Willard Mitt Romney, not William Todd Akin..
Willard caused a crisis where there was none and should never have been one if Willard hadn’t opened his big Liberal trap and caused one..
Willard has done nothing good for the Republicans but beat up on them but the Republicans keep acting like an abused wife..
I want Cornball to lose in the primary.
I’m ok with a Dem winning the general, if that is the price we pay.
I think we are better off without the Dick Lugar’s of the world in the Senate.
Id rather Cornyn lose the runoff and Dems take the seat than Cornyn stay in. RINOs need to learn painful lessons if this nation is to be turned around.
Afraid STOCKMAN will get the majority of the vote of the challengers. Putting him in the run off with Corncob.
I’ll probably vote Stovall, the “turtle” comment doesn’t bother me in the least. Besides, the press is going to give a rectal exam to anybody that challenges the RINO.
So...you are ready to sandbag any candidate not Cornyn?
Sick of all the attacks on Todd Akin because the Liberal Media ran with one comment...and PhonyCon Liberals went on the attack.
Looks like more sandbagging of conservatives by PhonyCon Liberals
All the major Statewide Offices have multiple GOP candidates vying for
the nomination. This should make for a better turnout during this primary.
Also the Lt Gov is the only race with an incumbent running. In addition
the US Senate race seems to have taken on some interest.
So Texas may see somewhat of a larger turnout than in normal non presidential years.
Governor
Lieutenant Governor - incumbent running
Attorney General
Comptroller of Public Accounts
Land Commissioner
Agriculture Commissioner
Railroad Commissioner

You message has the feel of “concern trolling.”
You also seem unaware of the fact that Missouri Democrats helped Tod Akin in the primary, precisely because he had a tendency to mouth off and was a scary ideologue.
Had the alternative that most conservatives wanted won the Missouri Primary, we likely wouldn’t have had someone as tone deaf as Tod Akin running for the seat in the first place.
