"I will go out on a limb, and predict that the appeal will fail. The trial court ruling was too fact specific, and abuse of discretion appeals are usually DOA."
Probably right, although the legal crux was how Sparks created the 'catch-22' wrt ineligibility due to residency. The way Sparks wrote it, even someone in a jail in another state couldnt be declared ineligible prior to the election.
I am not sure why DeLay didnt say his *intention* was to be in Virginia on election day.
I think the best plan is to have Delay run an open candidacy where he will resign once re-elected.
Interesting and creative idea.
