3. Yes, there's a Democrat in the race. A real Democrat. Nick Lampson. |
|
He's one of DeLay's casualties of re-redistricting.

4. Well, William, if we win what do we win? |
|
Everything is so F*d up. What will Dems win if we win both the House and the Senate?

17. DeLay is leaving, which means the Repugs can pick a stronger |
|
candidate to run against the Democrat now, right? I remember a lot of DUers were glad when DeLay won the primary, because they were certain he would lose in the election against a strong, non-indicted Democratic candidate.
Now that possibility is gone. Could this be the intent all along?

22. I really wonder what's behind this? I don't believe DeLay would |
|
EVER quit...unless there's a bigger bomb shell about to hit! I know one his top aides is reported to have cooperated with the Feds. I really don't think this is the end of the story, but the beginning.

25. But could he remain as influential even from the outside? |
|
The power and money structures are still in place despite the changing faces and the comforting belief if representational government.
