BusinessWeek: DeLay's Woes: The GOP's Tipping Point?

The House Majority Leader's indictment is the latest in a rash of problems for Republicans. Voters may start seeing them as aloof and arrogant.

For Democrats who have been bemoaning their lack of unity on a whole host of issues, from George W. Bush's Supreme Court nominees to participation in a GOP-led inquiry into the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, it's Christmas in September on Capitol Hill.

In the space of a few days, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has become enmeshed in a Securities & Exchange Commission probe into sales of his huge HCA Inc. (HCA ) stock holdings from a blind trust. And on Sept. 28, another bombshell exploded as House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas was indicted by a Lone Star State grand jury for allegedly conspiring to violate a Texas ban on corporate campaign contributions.
