Good job, Governor Perry, Lt. Governor Dewhurst (and Tom Delay) !!

Well my friend you got one of three correct. Without DeLay the other two would still be wondering what to do about a matter that should have been over weeks ago.

I hope we can now pick up those 4 or 5 extra Congressmen.

Thanks for the update.

You bet. 5 would be dandy to me !

Dog Gone posited (yep, "posited") a theory last week that the delay helps Republicans, although he wasn't sure if they were actually smart enough to orchestrate the delay on purpose.

"I hope we can now pick up those 4 or 5 extra Congressmen."

I hope so too, and I also pray that the new guys will be people who have NEVER served in a government dominated by Dimocrats, so we can rid our party of its' overwhelming minority mentality.
That minority mentality seems to render our "leaders" incapable of functioning whenever a Dimocrat opposes them.
