I'm not saying that he will change his address back; I'm saying that he could change his address back. And it doesn't matter what his purpose would be, because the Constitution does not include an "unless Tom DeLay doesn't plan to" caveat. As for getting of the ballot, Tom DeLay can still withdraw any time he feels like it. He didn't try to withdraw; he tried to declare himself ineligible. He can do that too, if he really wants to, but he'll have to actually do one of the things that makes him ineligible under Texas statute.
Just seems like hes playing a big game. He can clearly see that this is dividing the party. Withdraw. People want him to either run or not too. Moving to Virginia to be a lobbyist doesn't really show his intention to be a representative of Texas.
This has nothing to do with the Constitution. This is Texas law. A normal state has some sort of time lag for establishing residency.
I just think he should sign up for a UT course with his Virginia address.
They will charge him out of state tuition and that would be good enough for me.
