This email speaks for itself
Dear Corpus Juris,
Even in the heart of Bush country, it doesn't pay to be a Republican anymore.
A recent poll conducted by the DSCC shows only 41% of Texans reporting favorable views of their home state Republican Senator John Cornyn. Moreover, Cornyn doesn't even clear 50% in a hypothetical 2008 election matchup with a generic Democrat.
As Cornyn's popularity plummets, the Texas Democratic party is enjoying an impressive resurgence. This weekend, a DSCC fundraising event in Texas brought in an astounding $1.1 million from supporters throughout the state to help preserve and expand the Democratic Senate majority in 2008.
Republicans have 21 seats to defend in 2008, compared with only 12 for Democrats. And as Republican senators continue to blindly advocate the deeply unpopular policies of George W. Bush in Iraq and elsewhere, the John Cornyns of the world will inch ever closer to Election Day defeat in 2008.
The DSCC will be watching and waiting for every opportunity to achieve Democratic victory.
Sincerely,
J.B. Poersch
Executive Director, DSCC
