Here is the "National Review" take on the Texas Senate.

TEXAS
The Matchup: Attorney General John Cornyn (R.) vs. Former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk (D.)
Latest Poll: Tied at 46 percent, by Democratic firm Montgomery & Associates
The Line: Republicans aren't supposed to lose in Texas, but several polls have shown Kirk leading Cornyn. Republicans plausibly say this is because Kirk is better known throughout the state, and that party loyalists will fall in line as the campaign intensifies. Kirk has raised much of his money outside the state, from Democrats who would like to see an African American elected to the Senate. A Kirk victory, should it happen, would be the story of the election ? interpreted by the media as a rebuke of Bush, plus hailed as a milestone in racial progress and probably guaranteeing Democratic retention of the Senate.
