GOP voters still like DeLay
His success at rallies ahead of primary keeps rivals on standby

When U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay showed up at a candidate forum in Sugar Land last week, one of his Republican primary opponents slipped to the back of the room after a short speech and another talked about the need for civility in Washington.

Then DeLay took the microphone, and his years as a fearsome political battler came to the fore as he passionately vowed to fight for the district and against Democrats, civility or no.

"You know me, you know how long and hard I have worked," DeLay said at the forum sponsored by the local chamber of commerce and Republican groups. "When I fight, we win."

No prominent Republican would dare challenge DeLay, although many are watching to see how he fares when he goes on trial on Travis County money-laundering charges related to campaign finance.

after this. This is his swan song. He can deny the charges against him and rail about the "liberal media" all he wants but nothing can diminish the trouble he's really in. This is his last hurrah and his brain-dead followers will stick by him until the bitter end. He's made so much money for all of them over the years they can't believe the golden goose is about to get his head lopped off. More Republican zombies without critical thinking skills being led to the slaughter, who cares. Let them go down with DeLay.

Feb 11 Maureen Dowd informs us, in the article as entitled above:

"A final absurd junction of dysfunction was reached on Wednesday, when Republican Party leaders awarded Tom DeLay with a seat on the Appropriations subcommittee overseeing the Justice Department, which is investigating Jack Abramoff, including his connections to Tom DeLay.

Perfect."
