Stopping Dem 60 ‘real hard,’ Cornyn fears

By Aaron Blake and Reid Wilson

The man in charge of electing more Republicans to the Senate said it will be difficult to stop the Democrats from winning a 60-seat majority in 2010.

Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), the new head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), knows he has a difficult road ahead of him.

"That’s going to be real hard, to be honest with you," Cornyn said of keeping Democrats from reaching 60 seats, adding:

"Everybody who runs could be the potential tipping point to get Democrats to 60. We’ve not only got to play defense; we’ve got to claw our way back in 2010. It’ll be a huge challenge."


For once I agree with John Cornyn on something. And I'm hoping his fear really pans out. Only wish one of the seats up in 2010 was his.

2. I never thought I'd agree with him on something.
Mark this day down in the calendar. :)

3. I know - I know
He's actually stepped into the reality based world - if only for a brief moment. It must be some kind of leap year thing in the conservative calendar that you can only experience once every decade or so.

If he had said it on 4-20; we could say he must have been smoking something.:evilgrin:
