How in the heck can a judges ruling be 'confirmed' by an opponent??? The Houston Chronicle is a silly lib-rag.

[Gay State Conservative]

Two words.....Bob Toricelli.

[rhombus]

Can DeLay win? :-)

[AntiGuv]

Ping!!

[MNJohnnie]

But Democrats are allowed to remove a NJ Democrat Senate canidate from the ballot 7 days prior to the state wide election.

[Mike Darancette]

Texas Democratic Party spokeswoman Amber Moon.

Far Out.

It would be so funny if DeLay won.

[stylin_geek]

And Lautenburg became Senator because the Democrats did what?
Of course, that's in the past, we're talking about now.....

[RabidBartender]

"U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, a Republican appointee, ruled that DeLay must appear..."

I wonder if the writer would have mentioned it if the judge were a Democrat appointee. He seems to think adding that Sparks is a Republican appointee adds weight to his story.

[Petronski]

If the appeal fails, he should campaign and win. That would be a schadenfreudische feast!

[goldstategop]

Its funny. The Democrats wanted to get rid of DeLay, then decided they couldn't live without him!

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)

[shield]

It'll probably end up at Texas SC, and he'll be removed from the ballot. Don't ya know a dimwit can't win honestly. So we always end up in court.

[rface]

screw it. Delay should run.

I'll send him $100 if he says "........the courts won't let me quit. I am going to run and I am going to win!"

[mtbopfuyn]

Thanks. I've made my decision on how I'm voting, heehee.

[Elpasser]

I GUARANTEE you that the Fifth Circuit will overturn this ruling.

There is no way they're going to allow a MAJORITY republican district to be disenfranchised by not having a Republican on the ballot!

Sparks can't see the forest for the trees.

[AmericaUnited]

Delay should run. Absolutely, positively.

[Redleg Duke]

I hope DeLay runs and whips the Socialist's sorry butt!

[evad]

HUH????

[KoRn]

Absolute insanity!

[Xenalyte]

U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, a Republican appointee, ruled that DeLay must appear on the Nov. 7 ballot as the GOP nominee for the congressional seat that DeLay abandoned last month. Sparks ruling was confirmed by Texas Democratic Party spokeswoman Amber Moon.

Details of Sparks ruling were not immediately available.

Sparks ruling halts the process of replacing DeLay on the ballot, but the GOP is expected to appeal the decision to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Damn shame, that poor Mr. Ratcliffe has to deal with having no apostrophe.

[Cinnamon]

I am hoping Delay wins.. and big time.. sort of like a landslide.. faces of stunned democrats? priceless!
