Well, Well, Well...
The Bugman's little ploy to extricate himself from the ballot seems to have backfired!
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's name must stay on a Texas ballot in upcoming congressional elections, despite his decision to withdraw from the race, a U.S. court judge in Austin, Texas, ruled on Thursday.
The whole point of DeLay "moving" to Virginia was to disqualify him, so the TX Repugs could replace him on the ballot. Tough Luck Tommy Boy! We beat you at your own game.
Democrats sought an order to keep DeLay on the ballot, claiming he could not declared ineligible until election day.
I swear I checked to see if this was a duplicate diary. But if it is, let me know and I'll delete it.
