1. Yuck

Hope that changes.

[Idioteque]

6. Don't we want DeLay to win the primary...

...he's the only reason this district is going to be competitive for us.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. I want him gone ASAP

but I can understand your strategy.

[movonne]

2. He is starting out ahead...

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

3. DeLay Over 50% From Early Voting Results So Far. nt

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

8. Only Early Voting So Far - Let's Wait It Out A Bit nt

[LaurenG]

4. I can't believe that! Except that I can.

Nothing should surprise us anymore.

5. Anyone know if they us Diebold there...

18. eSlate machines are used around these here parts, but

that differs around the state. Some people had the option of writing their votes down, pen and paper.
What a concept! :think:

7. He's only indicted, not in jail.

:sarcasm:

9. Excellent. I've been rooting for Delay

I doubt he'll even make it to Nov. He's in serious trouble re Abramoff, not to mention the Texas charges.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. Isn't he still actually on the committee INVESTIGATING Abramoff?

[ellenfl]

14. actually, he was just named to HEAD that committee. eom

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Who is responsible for this? Majority leader? Shrub?

[Roland99]

19. Why??? Get that bastard gone as soon as possible!

Why run the risk of him getting thru in Nov?


Losing now would be a huge blow to his inflated ego.

21. Lampson would have an easier time

against Delay than Campbell. At least that's the conventional wisdom. He even leads Delay in current polls.

22. This is a primary, right?

I know that when a person is in a predominately ruled by the party you don't belong to, it is customarily a good idea to register in the "main" party, and vote for the candidate most easy to unseat in the real election where party affiliation doesn't matter. I learned this tactic in TX so, I would say that with all Delay's problems he will be easy to unseat and it will give the "get rid of the cheats and liars" line a stronger response for Democrats candidate. SOOOOO, I say go Delay, just for the primary mind you.

10. I think DeLay would be easier to beat than his opponents. Besides,

DeLay may go to jail.

11. One key to look for is voter turnout in the Repub primary too. . .

if it is high and he wins big, we have a lot of work to do.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

13. Percentage Breakdowns So Far

Combined - 61%

Brazoria - 71%

Fort Bend - 60%

[ellenfl]

15. i would like to see him go down TODAY! eom

17. Feinman Comment Re: DeLay Election

He seems to think that DeLay will get the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. He said that were he to not get 50% today, and have to go into a runoff just to get the nomination, then he is likely toast come November, regardless of his making it that far.

23. Argh!!
