What was it again?.........Corrupt a Culture? ...no,uh, Culture a Corrupt Club?....no, Culture for the Currupt?....no
I sure hope these numbers hold up. He's ahead about 3-1 in most of these districts.
Ronnie Earle, eat your heart out.
That noise you hear is Nancy Pelosi crying :0)
59% is rather weak for an incumbent, but in any case it's now 64% at the moment (still weak, but better). Of course, it may not signify much in any case. Specter had about as weak a winning margin as it gets over Toomey, but still cruised in the general.
Hope this trend continues with a big victory for DeLay!
This makes me feel much better. Too many things getting out of hand.
In spite of everything that worthless liberal rag, the Houston Chronicle, could do, it looks as though Tom Delay will prevail. Oh well, they still have seven months to trash him and try to punch up the Democrat corpse, Lampson.
who was the FReeper that was cheerleading for Campbell?
Well...these are still early returns...LOLOLOL!!!!
LOL.. and tomorrow the Dems will say -- "this is exactly the result we wanted. We can beat Tom Delay like a rented puppy in the general. We knew the Republicans wouldn;t have the guts to depose him and run a candidate that would threaten us. They played right into our hands by backing Delay."
In fact, some candidates have even been known to set up one or more ringers to run against them.
Of course, this is unknown in Texas, heheh.
Go, Tom!

I suppose macine style politics have now taken hold in Texas. Considering many issues, real or fake, with Tom Delay, the percentage of the vote for him is impressive.
