Tom Delay isn't about polls, he's about doing what needs to be done.

Well, he better be concerned when Republicans in his district think less of him for intervening in the Schiavo case.

If he pushes this too far, he could easily lose in 2006. He won with only 55% of the vote in 2004.

I would rather get something accomplished between now and 2006 and let the chips fall where they may. Having a majority just for the majority's sake is meaningless unless you do something with it.

Oh, but I thought - according to the liberals (like you?) - that DeLay and the GOP helped Terri for political reasons?

Maybe. Well, if he loses for doing the right thing, which can bring this country back from the brink of anarchy, so be it.

Would you rather he operate by the Clinton method - daily stick your wet finger in the air to check on wind direction before making a decision, instead of making them on the right or wrong merits?
