Now that DeLay has dropped out
Doesn't that mean Nick Lampson is virtually unopposed in November?

1. No, DeLay is moving out of state so Texas Republicans can
appoint someone to run against Lampson.

2. I don't think that Travis Co. will let anyone indicted move out of state.

3. I understand he is declaring residency in VA, but I could be wrong.

DeLay said he has no regrets and is proud of his legacy and looks forward to his next move, which will find him switching his official residence from Texas to Virginia in order to make him ineligible to run in the upcoming midterm elections and let the Republican Party find a new candidate. His official resignation is expected to come sometime in June, paving the way for a special election to fill the remaining months of his term.

4. Texas Repugs can do that?
Just appoint whoever they want and damn the voters?
