Redstate.com: "DeLay Put The Good Of The Party First. Good For Him"...
Tom DeLay, the longtime GOP House Majority Whip and then Majority Leader, will announce at a press conference tomorrow that he will drop out of the race for re-election to his House seat, leaving former GOP Congressman Steve Stockman to face off against former Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson in the Houston-area district. DeLay's decision brings to a close a combative career in the House, and moves away from center stage the various ethics charges (real and manufactured) swirling around DeLay. Most of all, it ends the GOP concern that DeLay might lose his own seat, which in addition to redistricting has undergone demographic changes with the influx of former New Orleans residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
