DeLay's Political Death Greatly Exaggerated... So much for claims that all the swirling accusations about Abramoff and the Earle investigations hurting DeLay's reelection chances. While he won the primary, it doesn't mean that his reelection in the general elections is assured....

Delay changed the districting map to reflect the popular vote. It was the democrats who were getting 40% of the vote but 60% of the seats. Now the number of Republicans reflects the voting percentages. Thats not arrogance that fair play!

No one ever remembers that Ronnie Earl had to go through SIX grand juries before he found one corrupt enough to indict Delay.

Delay's opponent spent heavily on radio adds the last two weeks of the campaign. Delay spent nothing. He still won by a 2-1 vote margin. Only to a left-wing reporter from Houston can a man who is doing the peoples business be characterised as a "jerk".

The "jerks" are Delay's critics. Shabby Harry Reid took more money from Abramoff than Delay.

He actually sacrificed the security of his own safe district to help other Republicans!?

What a horrible, horrible man!

Of course, the redrawing of the 22nd District would have no effect (or, at least, very little) on the primary race. I still think he will get a fight from Lampson, as you note.

It won't hurt my feelings if he were to lose in November, I must confess.

I'm sorry, I haven't kept up with current events. Which court found DeLay guilty of something?

Deep in the heart of Texas...

James Joyner: Tom DeLay easily won the Republican primary to keep his seat, despite predictions that the Abramoff scandal and his arrogance in helping redraw his seat into a competitive one to help strengthen Republican chances in adjoining districts w...
