(Another great report on the success and energy of the Clinton rally in Dallas for the Democratic ticket. The wave is building. - promoted by Karl-Thomas Musselman)
So, I saw John Cornyn on Channel 4 (or maybe it was 11) here in Dallas/Fort Worth a few minutes ago ~ and he was making some kind of snide remark about President Clinton being in town and how that's not such a good thing since so many people don't hold such a favorable view of the former president.
Of course, Cornyn didn't look terribly enthusiastic when he said it. Maybe it's because he was forced to be in Dallas today. Those darn Democrats.
Breathing all that Dallas Democratic Party air must have been very challenging for Senator Cornyn. He looked terribly pale to me in the clip I saw.
Or maybe I'm just not used to seeing him in living color. 
No matter. President Bill Clinton was here and he was so fired up! And Senator Rick Noriega was here and he was magnificent and incredibly fired up! And based on polling from October 1st, the gap has closed to 7 percentage points between Noriega and Cornyn. Wow! That's two weeks ago.
The Dallas News reports that President Clinton had high praise for Rick Noriega tonight:
In a rally that included most every major Democrat in North Texas, Bill Clinton on Tuesday urged voters to elect Rick Noriega to the Senate to help Barack Obama push a change agenda.
"Nobody is smart enough to do this alone," Mr. Clinton said of electing a Democratic president. "The supporting cast matters."
Hillary Clinton had some things to say, too:
Mr. Clinton said that his wife, who recently stumped for Mr. Noriega in South Texas, was miffed that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was not active in the Lone Star Senate tilt.
President Clinton offered even more praise for Rick Noriega:
Mr. Clinton said Mr. Noriega would help Mr. Obama and Democrats restore jobs, achieve energy independence for the country and reform the nation's health care system.
And the quote that will surely put some color back in John Cornyn's worldview:
"Don't believe the polls," said Dallas County Party Chairwoman Darlene Ewing. "He's within striking distance of Cornyn. He can win this." [emphasis added.]
