If demonizing GOP leaders is the RATS "best hope" over the next two years, their party is destined for the dustpan of history.

It's amazing they actually had the gall to post this in NEWS rather than opinion. Barf-o-rama.

Every conservative Republican politician in the country has learned the Gingrich 'lesson', which is that you should limit your televised contact with the 'mainstream' press as much as possible, otherwise they will turn you into the second coming of Ivan the Terrible. Delay most of all has learned this lesson. As a result, this article is just wishful thinking on the part of some liberal reporter.

DeLay I noticed on the TV this week has turned into a nice, calm individual -- going to have a hard time demonizing the Tom DeLay I saw this week on TV!

Do believe Republicans learned from the Newt debacle!

This is going to be fun to watch!

[blastdad51]

Let me get this right, if DeLay is the Dems best hope of regaining the House. Does that make Pelosi the Dems best chance of losing more seats?

HHAAAAHHAAAAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well this is just more liberal drivel...Will we hear the same thing about nancy BELLAPALOSI No..She is just a good democrat..Not a fanatical left wing commie biaatch..
The liberal media is in step with the rat DNC talking points.
The liberals are desparate...Be aware for anything,when you back a rat into the corner the rats natural instinct is to fight back...I am waiting for more and more of this in the next two years...

The new media contest...who's more extreme Pelosi or Delay? Where can we look up their "conservative" v. "liberal" rankings?

Does this make Pelosi a radical liberal? Of course not, she's mainstream, according to the media.

[Wait4Truth]

I agree with you. Delay has been a veritable pussy cat on TV. He has learned the lessons of Newt and President Bush will make sure that Delay puts on his best smiley face to to the TV cameras. This RAT ploy will not work.

It will be fun to watch the Nancy boys for the next 2 years.

With Rep. DeLay being a conservative, he believes in Liberty and FReedom, leaving the Nancy boys to serfdom and repression. I don't think that's something they can win on.

I hear the sound of people whistling while wandering aimlessly through a graveyard.

Whooooops, they're not people.....they are Dumbocrats!

It must be a rerun of "The Night Of The Living Dead"!!!

[katherineisgreat]

This paper is only saying this because they are Katherine Harris' hometown paper. Delay stumped for Katherine and it made them furious. They are just trying to upset her, IMHO.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Unlike Gingrich, DeLay will be nominally the House Republicans' No. 2 man; Dennis Hastert was re-elected speaker this week. But the mild-mannered Hastert is a former deputy to DeLay, who served seven years as the Republican whip, and DeLay's strident approach will certainly make him a dominant figure in the next Congress.

I see it has not occurred to these nuts that Hastert has his job because DeLay wanted him to have it. Tom knows what the press would do to him, and that was the reason he wanted a mild mannered Speaker who was hard to attack.

DeLay has far more "people smarts" than Newt had.

[hardhead]

Meadow muffins! What it will do is put someone with cojones in who not be p***y-whipped by his opponent (the recently-elected-by-the-creeps-minority-leader)!

[Cannon6]

I noticed that he did not refer to pelosi as a "radical" liberal.
