DeLay gone, not forgotten in district race

April 5, 2006

BY LYNN SWEET SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

Tom DeLay said Tuesday he is quitting Congress because he does not want Republicans to lose House seats in November because of him.

But it may be too late for DeLay, the Texas Republican who is leaving with ethical clouds swirling around him, to take himself out of play as a factor.

Democrats at a national level and locally -- Dem House candidate Tammy Duckworth, running against state Sen. Peter Roskam (R-Wheaton), who once worked for DeLay -- will continue to demonize DeLay.

"DeLay may be gone, but nothing has changed," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the chief of the House political operation, in a statement.
