    He might lose to a dead guy.

    What a chicken. He has got nothing now. He needs money for the lawsuits.


  4. Wayne says:

    No way to write in a candidate on those machines in that district. Unless they are using absentee ballots and writing in that way.

    Delay dug his own latrine in this case, and promptly fell into it face first. So funny to see such a crooked A$$ get taken down like this in a death of a thousand cuts.

    I didn’t know Jack Abramhof could run for office.

    OMG you cannot be serious!!!!

    What a freakin’ DOOFUS!!!!!!

    Hey, Delay, you can have Bob Ney. We’re done with him here in Ohio.


  8. Magnetic Poet says:

    Maybe Tom will find work in Baghdad, support the war, err freedom and democracy, nation building, umm civil war, he helped to create from his lofty chickenhawk perch…


  9. PLC (PatrioticLiberalChristian) says:

    Or maybe Tom Delay can be a “mine test dummy” for those new land mines the U.S. is apparently developing.


  10. Suzy Q says:

    If Delay is lucky he’ll go quietly like Lay did.


  11. Arne Langsetmo says:

    Good idea, Tom! I like that. Split the vote. Splendid thinking from the Republican mind….

    Cheers,

    Did somebody tell Delay you can’t write in Satan?


  13. Rebel With A Cause says:

    I see that the Lieberman camp is using Bushco/Rove failing political strategetisms.

    They are accusing the Lamont camp of messing with their web site.

    The ruth is that Lieberman does not have the money to pay his bills.

    At any rate, Lamont is calling on the people supposedly responsible to halt the activity. Nice guy, that Ned Lamont.

    How about Josef Stalin? That’s his kind of guy……….

    If the head is not separated from the body of the viper, NEVER ASSUME THAT THE SNAKE IS DEAD!


  16. nym@alias.net says:

    neocon-artist republicans can write?

    hell, seems like it’s rather difficult to read their typing most of the time….


  17. Democratic Soldier says:

    Just more fuel to feed the whole “Rep. DeLay lied about wanting to run until AFTER he won the primary, and to get more donations for his legal defense fund, and now can’t wait to NOT be the Republican candidate” fire.

    The Democrats have to push this issue to reveal Rep. DeLay for the political hack he has always been.


  18. Kermit the Freedom Frog says:

    The Republican party is just one big train wreck, isn’t it?


  19. theswan says:

    Stepping aside is a cowardly thing for such a national hero as tom delay.
    After leading this nation to its glorious days to have to defer to a write in?
    I believe that tom has lost his freedom metal.


  20. Jay Randal says:

    Just be glad that Tom DeLay is out of the Congress forever!

    Yep.
    The difference:
    This kind of wreck inspires me to smile or laugh out loud when I hear a list of the “victims”(those embroiled in criminal charges or other misdeeds).
