The full court press is on against DeLay. Any veteran political observer can see that this is an orchestrated attack directed at the highest levels of the Democrat party.

The problem is that they really have nothing. That makes the attack incredibly unlikely to succeed.

DeLay is popular at home despite the daily rantings about him in the Houston Chronicle. His crime is not being a crook, but being a conservative who doesn't back down in the face of opposition of newspapers and the Democrat Party. Even in personal life, he's generous and reaches out to the disadvantaged.

It's purely a political play, but without any substance to go on, it won't work. They haven't found a wedge issue to divide DeLay from his conservative base.

I live in Austin, TX. Delay is being attacked by District Attorney Ronnie Earle. Ronnie Earle is the same jokester who tried to railroad Kay Hutchison and got his Sh!t slapped back by a judge on the first day of the trial.

I can assure any worried parties that this attack will fold like a bad poker hand very soon. Ronnie Earle is the last remnant of when Texas was a one-party DemonRat state. Travis county is still majority Dim, but that is changing.

This is the last dying gasp of a corrupt regime.

If anyone in America can take a punch to the gut, Delay can. Ronnie will be sorry he picked this fight.

You're right - they keep trying - but nothing works.

3 times they have brought a case before the ethics committee - and 3 times there has not been any reason to charge him.

Somehow the media fails to mention and "no charges" portion.
