If we're going to play that game, let's play it all the way. Ortiz has been talked about as a candidate for senator. With Kerry moving to Sec of State, there's a senate seat in Mass. opening up. Scott Brown just lost the seat for the Republicans and will probably be running for the new opening to gain it back. By taking on Ortiz, Cornyn is removing a potentially strong competitor to Brown. But really, who cares what games are going on in the background? Ortiz shouldn't have a career in politics, and it's not going to be people in her own party that stop her.

Huh? Ortiz isn't a contender for MA-Senate. That seat is going to Ed Markey. I am 100% with you on the need to stay on top of Ortiz and limit her career. I have the same problem in my home state with Anita Alvarez, who is also being groomed for bigger things. I have no problem with the questions Cornyn is asking. Let's just keep him from being adopted as an Internet Superhero. He's not one of those.
