Since you guys are literally the cream of the crop of political analysis I thought I would ask your opinions about the whole DeLay situation

You had me there. In fact, this might be my new signature if it fits

Two or three years ago a read a story on how Soros was about to specifically target Delay. A few months later I saw these anti Delay stories pop up. I believe the straight story is Delay is not guilty and will retain his seat. However, since this has come up and he seems to support Dubbya's drunken sailor spending, he was vulnerable by conservative republicans as he should be.

What say you?

not guilty and will win.

A little sucking up never hurt anyone :o)

Its true though.

Some people on FR are on the level and know what they are talking about.

Some are full of crap, but we won't worry about those :o)

I think DeLay is vunerable more because of his movie star politics.

I haven't followed how DeLay voted or whatever...and on many things DeLay is great from what I understand....

IF he gets into too much [more] trouble I see the people there already getting sick of him for that alone.

It seems to me to be more a choice of 'conservative options'...no real threat from a democrat exists....

Two or three years ago a read a story on how Soros was about to specifically target Delay.

Exactly so and we have all seen the result to date including everything from indictments on spurious (that's being as polite as I can be) charges by political hack Ronnie Earle to stories from the media arm of the DNC, otherwise known as the Associated Press, about how unpopular DeLay is in his district.

The ONLY reason Soros and his ilk are targeting DeLay is because he was and still is an EFFECTIVE conservative leader. If we allow these reparbates to win this one we can look forward to the same kind of treatment for ANY conservative leader who emerges in the future.

Fretland is no newcomer and is and always has been a democrat plant. (Everyone who is even moderately politically active down there knows this. He is a nullity.) I do not recall having met the other two Republicans and respect their right to enter whatever race they choose. I myself will however do everything in my power to ensure the re-election of Mr. DeLay for the reasons mentioned above and I urge everyone else to look at the situation in it's entirity before making their decisions on March 7th.

Nick Lampson is no conservative at all and has exactly zero chance in this district.
