Cornyn: GOP can gain from Dems’ woes
By Todd J. Gillman • Dallas Morning News • January 15, 2009


WASHINGTON — Even with Republicans reeling in the Senate, Texas Sen. John Cornyn said Wednesday he sees hope for a rebound — thanks to the scandal-tainted Illinois appointment and Barack Obama’s cabinet picks.

Besides, Cornyn said, “I think there’s a natural aversion of the American people to putting all their eggs in one political basket.”

As the GOP’s new point man on Senate elections, Cornyn faces a daunting task. His party lost eight seats in November and is currently down to 41 out of 100 — a 28-year low.

But he offered a relatively upbeat assessment in his first roundtable with reporters since colleagues picked him to lead the National Republican Senatorial Committee in November.

2. John Cornyn and Mitch will help the democrats win more
senate seats in 2010. By then voters will really have a belly full of those two venomous assholes. Add in Bob Corker and The Boner in the house and the downhill slide for the GOP will get worse for the crybaby obstructionists in the GOP, IMHO.
