The San Antonio Express News profiles Texas Senator John Cornyn’s early moves to reinvigorate the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

The NRSC was outraised by $65 million in the last cycle, so Cornyn’s early and energetic start is welcome news for a GOP base looking for somewhere to plant a flag. If candidate recruitment n Florida, Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois and Colorado goes well, Cornyn will benefit from a groundswell of support for restoring balance in D.C. The unbelievable waste in the stimulus bill that the House unveiled is a great wake-up call to the cost to the country of large Democratic majorities in both Houses.
