"Ronaldus Magnus 11th commandment was for Republicans to never speak negatively of a fellow Republican."
That was his problem, not mine!

I don't know. Depends on Texas election law. But I imagine that the GOP will nominate a state legislator to succeed him.

On his best day, DeLay was a nasty piece of work. Pubbies are better without him. You couldn't be more wrong. On his best day, Tom DeLay had liberal tough men hiding in the girls restroom. The liberal women just hid.
Tom DeLay is a conservative icon and we should be grateful for his awesome leadership and service for our cause. It sickenes me that he has been abondoned by so many so-called conservatives.

What is the process in replacing them? Governor calls a special election and someone is elected to fill out the term.
