Thanks for the post. I agree, they pushed way too hard to get rid of Morella. They could have made MD-6 more competitive than it is if they had tried to defeat her on the merits and not by drowning her in Democrats.

They couldn't defeat Morella on the merits in Montco, but throw in some voters from other counties and she'd be toast. Morella was like Charlie Stenholm in West Texas---his district was already like 65% Republican, and the way to beat him, as DeLay new, was not to throw more Republicans at him, but *different* Republicans. TX Redistricters split Stenholm's CD in two and he really had no chance against Neugebauer.
