But - just reading the text here ... I'm not at all sure I should be calling this one of those fumbles.
Isn't it kind of a legitimate question? Primarying - (from within the party establishment) a fairly safe seat? Isn't that a BIT unusual? And a point that's kinda' fair to make?

And, no ... I think one has to kind of stretch - in order to turn this into any sort of gushing endorsement of Cornyn.
