Why do you ask?
Tom DeLays presence in the House was one of the pillars for the legislative agenda that the RINO senators did not want to see on the Senate floor. It was a no win situation for them. Secondly, Tom DeLAy would have been in line to run for the presidency, and would not have been assailable by faggots like Giuliani or McCain.
This makes me want to see Tom DeLays name on a nomination ballot in the worst way. He was a brilliant political fighter, and his skills are now sorely missed.
I would still vote for him as a presidential candidate, but now will settle for supporting Duncan Hunter.
