Anyone have doubts the Congressman mentioned is DeLay? (actually it is Ney, sorry)

Bye Bye, Asshole.

1. Not Yet, Please Not Yet

Let it be too late for the Republicans to field another good candidate for this year's election

:evilgrin:

[Richardo]

3. Point of order. This is Texas: they don't need a 'good' candidate

They'll go in with an advantage no matter WHO they run.

Luckily the Dems have a very strong candidate in Nick Lampson :thumbsup:

[DURHAM D]

2. According to MSNBC this am - Rep #1 is Ney not Delay. eom

5. I just realized that it is indeed Ney and not Delay

I will change the title of the thread to avoid more confusions

[Jane Austin]

4. Yes. Representative #! is assumed to be Bob Ney, who is chairman of a big

committee in the House - something like the House Administration Committee, although I may be fuzzy on the committee name.
