1. I've seen ZERO in Waco.
And I pretty disappointed.

But then, I'm not his campaign manager. I don't know his financial situation or his priorities.

He has a rally here today.

I'm looking forward to it.

2. Yep, I've seen his ads in Houston
You're right they're far better quality than that lame ass fringed shirt stuff.

All hat, no cattle is Cornyn.


Rick definitely deserves to win this one, and I'm hopeful he might just pull it off.

3. frustrating
ivebeen giving to his campaign but ish the big bucks fromt he dsccwould have kicked in. if noriega wins the seat he has a better shot of holding it in 6 yrs tan some of the dscc's other targets like ms or ga. cornyn should not be going back to the senate

4. No money from the DSCC - and Hillary Clinton is furious about that
Her hubby told us that at a Dallas campaign rally for Noriega a couple of weeks ago.

But we're getting some Noriega TV ads in the D/FW market. Cornyn's ads are pretty, and the music is nice, but Noriega's ads have some actual meat in them instead of just fluff.

7. Perhaps she should speak to the senior senator from NY
about that.

Then, I might believe she's really angry.

And that's precisely why I didn't send Chuck or HRC (who made an appeal) any cash for the DSCC.

NY, well that's not right.

5. sitting on more than $100 million in donations and most facing no contest this year
the Senate's 51 Democrats have given the party's key Senatorial Campaign Committee, the DSCC -- headed by Chuck Schumer (D-NY) this year -- $11.3 million, or just over $220,000 apiece on average. Some 21 members have contributed less than $100.

The DSCC's $11.3 million in receipts from all the Democratic Senators stand in contrast to the $18.6 million raised from the 51 top Democratic House donors to the Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) -- 64.6 percent more than from the same number of members of the upper chamber. The total raised from Democratic House members by the DCCC -- headed by Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) -- $38.8 million, is more than triple the amount raised by the DSCC from Senators.

New York Senator Hillary Clinton, who is not up for election until 2012 and who has $6.68 million cash on hand, gave a total of $115,000 to the DSCC. Indiana's Evan Bayh, who has $11.3 million on hand and is up in 2010, gave $15,000. Barbara Boxer who has an even $4 million in the bank in preparation for her re-election bid in 2010, donated $30,000.

Apparently the Senate Democrats would rather spend their money on themselves than get MORE Democrats elected in the Senate. I don't understand why the Senate Democrats are so stingy with their funds, it makes NO sense to me.:shrug: But they have always behaved liked this so it should be no surprise.

I just hope that Texans will vote for Noriega and rid ourselves of the Cornyn Doughboy.

6. I don't think the DSCC thinks this race is winnable
And they're making a huge mistake writing us off.

I refused to send them any money - what I have to give - I'll give locally or directly to the candidate.

Why should I let them spend my cash on HRC's seat - when a good man like Noriega really needs it?

No thanks, my $$ stays in Texas on this one.
