US Senator Debate, who will be the winner?

The Cornyn-Noriega Debate is an article from Burkablog: Texas Monthly. The writer brings up the redistricting in 2003 with “Killer D’s”, the problem that has been asked during the debate between Cornyn and Noriega. It seems like Cornyn has more power to answer the question about this issue since Cornyn was the one who called to redistricting. For Noriega, it is a bit hard for him to run for a United States Senator in a state where majorities favored Republicans side over the last ten years. The problem between Democrat and Republican is not the problem that the writer focuses on during the debate. Although, the writer focuses on the dramatically change in personal expressive of Noriega in the debate; comparing to the debate Noriega has done at the UT Young Democrats. “It’s hard to criticize him; military service in the Middle East has affected him deeply,” the writer makes a well-view to the reader about Noriega’s background. Since the audience to this kind of article mostly young voters, and some military workers, the point that the writer brings up is well worth. Then, the writer’s credibility is well developed. The writer raises the viewing point to time and money consuming, “if he [Noriega] had $5 million and five weeks, he might make a race of it.” The money problem seems hard to solve by his own in this economy downturn time, but, in the other hand, Noriega can have the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to help him out in this situation, money consuming. John Cornyn, in the other side, “is both competent and confident under pressure.” I agree with the writer on this, since Cornyn is a current US Senator, there should be no question about why he is so confident about this election. Both Cornyn and Noriega are good to be US Senator, but only one of them will win in the election. It’s hard to decide who we should vote for.
