The Hammer Gets Nailed
Surely you've heard by now, but if not: Tom Delay's decided not to run this fall.
If you're anything like me, you've just lept up and are beginning to sing "Ding-dong the witch is dead..." And while that sentiment is definitely a valid one, the other part of the picture is that he's resigning so that a credible republican can run against Nick Lampson.
Who knows if Governor Perry will call for a quick election to get someone to finish Delay's term or if he'll allow the seat to remain empty for between now and November. Seems to me it would be a waste of a lot of money to call for a special election now, then one 7 months from now.
Whatever the case, celebrate the passing of the House's most corrupt member...then think what you can do to make this a more meaningful event. We have got to take back Congress from those who have corrupted it so horribly. The poster child of that corruption is stepping down, but that doesn't mean corruption will disappear.
