GOP Candidates Praise DeLay
Republican candidates for the Houston-area congressional seat once occupied by Tom DeLay praised him for his political outlook Wednesday but said they would not mimic his legislative votes or actions on several major issues.
The 10 GOP candidates in the March 4 primary for the 22nd Congressional District job made their comments at a meeting with the Houston Chronicle editorial board.
DeLay, once a powerful leader of congressional Republicans, resigned in 2006 and awaits trial on state charges involving the use of campaign funds. The seat is now held by Rep. Nick Lampson, a Democrat in a district DeLay designed to favor a Republican.

Juanita says that the early vote totals show the GOP trailing 2:1 in Sugarland, Coby in Clear Lake reports a similar proportion. Perhaps Texas is ready to LEAD the country again instead of just runnung it into the ditch.
It seems like Hot Tub Tom's downfall also has permanently screwed up the Ft. Bend Republicans.
