An issue that’s not getting much attention is the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate primary. With the potential for a huge turnout of Texas independents solely to vote for Obama, will these voters simply mark the first name on the Senate part of the ballot? If so, who is that? And why have the Texas Dems fielded the worst group of potential U.S. Senate candidates ever? Why is Ron Kirk not on that list?
Obama’s going to win Texas and this nomination. And his coattails are going to be huge in the general election. This will be the Democrats’ best chance to unseat Cornyn. The Texas Democrats have been caught sleeping.
I can tell you why Ron Kirk isn’t on the list: being a politician doesn’t pay as much as lobbying a politician.
