and they are not going to win the house or the senate. All these political polls about Delay being in trouble are as bogus as can be...

Ditto!

The MSM pundits will be scratching their heads and making excuses, as most of them seemed to think he was a goner!

So the press (some conservative and all Liberal) has wanted to portray anyway.

I hope they choke on these returns. As well everyone in D.C. that stabbed him in the back AND National Review.

Delay all the way.

The returns sure are reporting slowly.

In any event, it looks like DeLay will win with no trouble, though Campbell should do better in Galveston County than the rest of the distrtict.

This pretty much diminishes the possibility of a run-off.
