According to Rasmussen, Cornyn is vulnerable in the upcoming November election..check out what he wrote on his site:

Election 2008: Texas Senate

Texas Senate: Cornyn 47% Noriega 43%

It’s time to add United States Senator John Cornyn to the list of potentially vulnerable Republican incumbents in Election 2008. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state find Cornyn leading Democratic state legislator Rick Noriega by just four percentage points, 47% to 43%.

Any incumbent who polls below 50% is considered potentially vulnerable. That is especially true when a little known challenger is so competitive in an early general election match-up. The race for President in Texas is also fairly competitive early in Election 2008.

Noreiga leads among voters earning less than $40,000 a year. Cornyn leads among those with higher incomes. Cornyn leads among Evangelical Christian voters and other Protestants. Noreiga leads among those with a different faith background. Both candidates do well within their own party and are fairly evenly matched among unaffiliated voters.

It looks like with 10% of the precincts reporting, Clinton is winning Indiana’s primary so far…

We now have some of the documents DPS collected while on the Yearning for Zion ranch. When I called DPS for a response, they told me they didn’t know why the court released these documents since they had barely been reviewed.

Well, I reviewed them and here are some quick stats.

• Wendell Nielsen has the most: 21 wives ( he is 67 years old and wives range from 21-79 years old)

• 12 have just one wife…many of them are young (in their 20’s). In some cases, the wives are 16—which is the legal age to marry in Texas with parental consent

In addition, the church’s lawyer tells me many women are looking for apartments close to the shelters so they have their visitation rights with the children. Preliminary hearings will start May 16th and last until June 5th. We still do not have the results from the DNA tests.
