Quashing speculation about his status, Tom DeLay said he will withdraw from the House race in his district to make room for a write-in candidate.

If any write-in candidacy has a chance, it's this one. But I wouldn't hold my breath; Democrat Nick Lampson was a strong candidate even against DeLay; he'll still be a strong candidate no matter who the Republicans get to run.

It looks like DeLay's district could go Democratic in November.

Okay all you conservatives, let's see you start making those twenty dollar donations to PF, so they can buy some new servers (that way we all benefit).

I don't owe you a thing. Because I said that IF he decides to run; he'll win.

I also said there were 3 choices now.....

1) he'd run
2) he'd withdraw and hand it to the Dems
3) he'd withdraw and the Republicans would mount a massive write-in campaign.

We now know it's #3.

I think you'll see Republicans come out in huge numbers in that District after what the Democrats have pulled.

I especially like this part of Tom Delay's statement. It's SO TRUE:

"The court ruling allows a Democrat – who just moved into this community – to have his name appear on the ballot, but denies the Republican Party the opportunity to place a District Republican resident on that same ballot.

Voters should be concerned. While judges are denying Texas voters a fair choice this Fall, the courts allowed the Democrat Party in New Jersey to withdraw Robert Torricelli and substitute Frank Lautenberg in a similar case just weeks before the 2002 U.S. Senate election."

That's ALL that need to be said in a TV ad in Tom Delay's district!!!! Along with the name of whoever they decide to run. The Republicans in the district will come out in huge numbers!! It's a question of fairness.

Any ideas what the Rat Catcher will do to have his name removed from the ballot? We know now that it will be illegal for the Repugnacans to run someone else under their flag.

"...the courts allowed the Democrat Party in New Jersey to withdraw Robert Torricelli and substitute Frank Lautenberg in a similar case just weeks before the 2002 U.S. Senate election."

I'm pleased the Republicans were quick enough to catch the same observation I made after Judge Sanders first ruled DeLay must remain on the ballot.

What the Rat Catcher fails to appreciate, but the courts at all levels did, is that the election laws of Texas do not yet apply to residents of the Garden State.

Typical weasel-ish Neo-Con excuse. (j/k)

Come on JP, you don't owe "me". Why don't you just send the Jackson here to PF, that way we all win (you too). It's a win-win for all of us that way.
