In typical GOPer fashion, he trashed the reputation of his older and definitely more qualified primary challenger with inuendo and aspersions for an easy primary victory then won an essentially unopposed general election. The good news is that he will have a real, functioning opponent in November.

A 29 year old, unmarried, pudgy fat kid from North Carolina. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing DeLay isn't the only one blowing him.

It sucks to not actually be represented, and to have neighbors who still support the guy. Someone is really stupid here: it's either the Federal Government, for expecting us to believe this mularkey, or it's us, for swallowing it whole and asking for more.
