"The election got rid of Tom DeLay!"
That's untrue and you know it! That sleazebag, politically motivated prosecutor in Austin got DeLay out of his position, but it just may not work since DeLay is still on the ballot (more Dim finagling) and DeLay just may win! HA!
This is simply not supported by the facts. Ronnie Earle's politically motivated lawsuit is going nowhere. DeLay's most serious primary challenger acknowledged that Earle's indictment is politically motivated. The voters who voted against DeLay in the primary know that, too.
DeLay performed poorly in the primary because 40% of the Republican voters know that DeLay is up to his neck in the Abramoff scandal. Now DeLay's most serious primary challenger *did* raise the Abramoff issue.
DeLay can't win the general election, and he knows it. That why he said he resigned.
