Following up on the post below about Texas Dems' need to field more candidates statewide and in tough races, comes news from Paul Burka that one long-shot may not be that long at all. The Mustached One cites Survey USA numbers that describe Sen. John Cornyn as 89th in popularity of 100 senators, with an approval rating of 45 percent and a disapproval rating of 42 percent – good prospects for a possible pickup in 2008 if the D's are so inclined.
