What's Tom DeLay's district like?

[ButterflyBlood]

I'm wondering what district could be low enough to keep electing that creep.

[Cocoa]

1. total guess

I'll guess that it's a wealthy suburban district, with demographics similar to Gingrich's district, which I believe was Cobb Co. GA.

[KCDem]

3. yeah, that's about right.

Suburban, wealthy, lots of whiteys.

[tokenlib]

2. Good question.

All I know is that it supposedly is one of the most polluted in the nation. But I don't remember where I heard that--or if it is just because DeLay came from there.

[calimary]

5. Well, if there's that much pollution, that explains why they keep voting

for him. Apparently brain and chromosomal damage has already taken hold.

4. Try the Sugarland Chamber of Commerce

They sure have enough hotels there. Must be some kind of tourist trap.

Here's as map. Looks like some uptight suburb of Houston.

Oops...sorry.

12. Sugarland

Even McDonald's and Chick-Fila are built in brick to make them look more elegant. Sugarland is definetly a wealthly area. I live in rural Brazoria County close to the Fort Bend County line. The subdivisions in Sugarland are unbelievable. Rows and rows of high dollar homes.

14. McMansions as far as the eye can see... (eom)

[Touchdown]

11. thats an interesting district...he doesnt have Houstons west side.

I heard the real wealthy parts of Houston are west of downtown...i notice his district pretty much avoids Houston proper, though.

[Trek234]

8. I live right next to it

It's not that bad actually....

[TheYellowDog]

9. It's full of

Republicans. ;)
