The Texas Republican Party must keep Tom DeLay's name on the November election ballot, even though the former congressman has dropped his re-election bid, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
DeLay, the former House majority leader who resigned from office June 9, won the Republican primary for his district in March but decided against re-election a month later.
This is great news for the Democrats,a true win win. If DeLay doesn't appeal, or loses on appeal, then he has to say on, and the Dems have a relatively easy win. If DeLay wins the case on appeal, then the new Candidate (yet to be selected by the Republican party) has even less time to get his name out.
I guess Joe Wilson's (R-SC) golf buddy will have to spend some more time in court than he was expecting.
And the best part.
The judge who made this ruling is a Republican appointee.

Democrat. Republican. Who cares?! I mean really, is there a difference? If you can be labeled one way or the other, you are one of the Sheep they depend on to say in a high school tone of voice, "Eeeeeewww, your a Democrat? People instead of labeling themselves and trying to fit in, should step back and work on things that matter. The Government Sponsored Religion would be a good start. All these Morons that think the constitution, that recommends(term used loosely) seperation of Church and State, is being undermined and they are helping to do it. Instead of worrying if a Public School has a moment of silence, which I never knew a moment of silence to be based in any religion. They should be worried about the Government passing legislation over Gay Marriage, Abortion, and the Ten Commandments in public places. Last time I checked, every one of those topics were a Religious held belief. So what do the Sheeple do? Lets make the Government pass a law. That should show everyone what sad state our School Systems are in. The people are not even educated enough to know that these things become buzz words for re-election instead of things like Foriegn relations, Border Control, Famine and lousy access to food and medications. Our returning Soldiers who have their arms and legs ripped off, cant even support themselves, or a family if they have one. Fighting for what? Oil? "Peace for other Nations who have Dictatorships?" Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Long Live the ACLU! sic
Love your Blog.
In many ways the Dems and Repubs in DC are little different. They are both controled by the money that allows the to hold on to their seats.
That is a sa reality that must be addressed.
But at the base there is a difference. Dems think government can be used to improve society, and repubs (on the whole) dislike government and want capitialism to be the method of changing society.
Dems have are more acceping of societial evolution and the expansion of rights, Reps resist change and favor using the police power of the state to enforce the socity they want.
I an mot a real fan of the extreams of either party, but at this time the Republicans are far more offensive that the Dems, since they are both the party in power (in control of every aspect of our nation) and they are enfluenced mor strongly by their extreamist elements.
