Don't kid yourself with the "all out war" if Delay goes down. If he does, the Rats will have neutered the only Pubbie with any balls. The rest of them will be cringing under their chairs worrying how it will effect their next election -- and it won't matter one bit if he gets railroaded, the response will be the same.
I beg to differ. I think the 'all out war' has already started. The DimocRATS are just too stupid to realize it yet. I trust that doesn't include you.
