Tom DeLay’s conviction was overturned today.
I don’t often agree with Impy, but I think he’s right about DeLay. He would struggle to get traction as a potential speaker, as much as Newt would. As interesting as the idea of a non-elected speaker is (Allen West has also been mentioned), it does seem to be a pipe dream. We have to get someone from the conservative wing of the caucus to make a run at it. Otherwise, I fear McMorris Rodgers may try to take it. Ugh!
I thought that happened last year?
Was there another appeal?
