Now that I've thought it over, I'm not that happy about DeLay.

Ya'll, we were GONNA kick his ass in the fall, and he knew it, and that's why he quit-- to keep the seat from going to the Democrats.

Anyone know if Lampson's going to run in the special election? I'm not that fond of the special election-- a shorter time period tends to favor the candidate with more $$$ --- JMHO.

1. Lampson has an excellent chance at the special election, crispini

He's been working the district for over a year now. So he's got name recognition. He's been a Congressman before, so he has the experience. He has a good amount of money in the bank, although he'll need more from us. He's in the best position to win a special election in June or July whenever the Governor sets it. What we need to do in the meantime is collect more dirt on Mayor Wallace. He had to have supported DeLay publicly. We need to tie Wallace to DeLay.

I would have loved to seen Lampson kick DeLay's ass at the polls too. DeLay knew he was gonna get his ass kicked too, so he cut and ran.

I still believe that DeLay is going to get criminally convicted for something. He's getting his much deserved payback.

2. Good, good.

I'll kick in some dough to Lampson the next chance to get.

And, yes, the Bugman behind bars, instead of turning into a rich K street lobbyist, would be the BEST result of all.

3. Wallace is known around Sugar Land, but what about the part of

the district over near Clear Lake? I would have thought Eckles has more name recognition in the greater Houston area with your average voter, which makes me think Wallace has got to have ties to Delay. If they have a special election now, will they have to run for the same seat again in November? Is that the strategy? Make Lampson use up all his funds?

4. Not acceptable

The Bugman is squashed, dammit!

As Texas Democrats, we need to be able to be happy for at least twenty-four hours before switching back to gloom'n'doom mode!

Now get back out in that street and DANCE!

6. I'm with you, NoPasaran! I'm one happy camper, and look

forward to DeLay getting all that he deserves!

7. LOL!

Ok I will do the beer bounce happy dance for all of us! :bounce::beer::bounce::beer:

5. Ive been denied my dream

I wanted to see DeLay get beaten. I mean beaten so badly that even PETA and the baby seals felt sorry for him! This is s semi-sweet victory.
