Cornyn has Big Lead in Poll

The Travis Monitor
June 9, 2008

Cornyn ahead of Noriega 52% to 35%, a safe margin and above the 50% re-elect rate.

This news will send Democrat dollars elsewhere. The real battles in the U.S. Senate will be in these races:
Pearce in New Mexico; Shaffer in Colorado; Sununu in New Hampshire; Gilmore in Virginia. All are races with the Republicans defending an "R" seat. It will be a defensive cycle for the Republicans, with more vulnerable seats to defend.

Other races to watch: New Jersey and Louisiana.

Cornyn won't take it for granted, but he's got one of the safer seats this cycle.
