A Hole in Texas

"This could take a lot of wind out of the Democrats' sails," Rush Limbaugh is saying about Tom DeLay's resignation. That seems to be the excuse de jour to rationalize DeLay's leaving office one step ahead of the sheriff.

Is DeLay's leaving Congress a brilliant gambit that will enable the Republicans to hold onto DeLay's soon-to-be-old seat? Or is that just the usual right-wing bullshit?

Well, there's one way to prevent that from happening. And that is for all of us progressives to do everything we can to support Nick Lampson, the Democrat who is running for DeLay's soon-to-be open seat.

"I hate that kind of thinking but that's what they're thinking," says Limbaugh of people within the Republican Party who claim that the GOP could lose at least eight House seats this Fall. And if that's what the Republicans are thinking publicly, can you imagine what their internals must be? It's break out the Depends time.

So check out the website of Nick Lampson. Lampson is running for Congress, and he needs your support. He needs your financial contribution. Let's snag that seat for the Democrats in 2006.
