Can we take Delay's seat?

[Renew Deal]

I don't know Texas politics. Is there anyway we can take Delay's seat? How hard will it be? What does it take? What are the challenges?

:kick:

1. Find another tack to pin your hopes on, friend. NM

[Renew Deal]

2. What does that mean?

Does that mean it's impossible or something else?

[Walt Starr]

3. I believe that Delay is in one of the most Republican districts

in the nation.

[NJCher]

4. yeah, somebody here said it's made up of scumbags like Delay

Wouldn't be hard to believe, down in that neck of the woods.

6. It means

that delay wouldn't say or do some of the outlandishly reactionary things he does if he felt the least bit worried about not being reelected. the evil chief bug exterminator has no fear of voter retribution and he can't even spell diebold.

5. What part of Texas?

8. If it's rural that should be easy.

All you have to do is promise to bring home the pork. Find out why Delay is popular and what he brings home from Washington. Most good old Texas boys are interested in what's going on at home. Are they getting their farm subsidies, etc. They don't care what he does in Washington or how big an asshole he is as long as he gets them the federal funds that they need.

Democrats really need to take a page out of that book. Give your voters what they want and then when you go to Washington you can pretty much vote any liberal cause you want as long as it isn't affecting them back home. My two cents, anyway.

9. almost any part

of Texas seems to be moderately to extremely conservative.
In the subburbs around Houston, Dallas, and parts of the bedroom communities of Austin - you encounter very strong conservative partisan sympathies. I tend to see lots of SUVs with American flag decals driving around town here.

A lot of Texans think bush is OK - still.

Delay is not going away anytime soon

10. Not via an election challenge

He's in a freeper district. Bedroom community for the oil industry.

But I can't believe DeLay doesn't have some might scary skeletons in his closet. Larry Flint, can you hear me?

11. No not a chance in Hell

TX-22 is one of the most Republican seats in the country.

[Clete]

13. How about an independent who says the right things?

There's gotta be some Repukes out there who are fed up with Delay.

[oasis]

15. The independent wouldn't have the " x-tian fundie" support.

[acerbic]

12. Pull it out just when he's sitting down... n/t

14. U marginalize roachboy

by taking back the house & rendering him powerless. He is absolutely desperate 2 B speaker of the house.
