Cornyn's view of the Senate's electoral landscape for 2010

The Senate’s GOP campaign guru said his party has a much better shot at picking up seats in 2010 than in 2008, in part because George Bush has left office and President Obama has aggressively implemented an agenda that will scare voters away from the Democratic party.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said he expects unemployment to remain high, which could blunt the enthusiasm for Democrats and help the GOP stem the losses in Congress that have taken place over the last two election cycles.
