Most reviews I’ve read indicate Noriega as the winner and I would agree, though, again, the odd format makes it hard to determine any clear winner. Cornyn did, however, make two odd statements that I believe will come back to bite him: “I support the status quo.” and “if I was in Rep. Noriega’s position (being the incumbent), and I was unable to raise money”. He also mischaracterized Hillary Clinton’s vote on FISA.

There will be another in Dallas on Thursday, October 16, 2008. Check your local listings.
