Judge Rules GOP Cannot Replace DeLay With Stronger Candidate...
Former Representative Tom DeLay must stay on the Texas ballot in November despite his efforts to be declared ineligible so Republicans can select a stronger candidate, a federal judge ruled today.
The decision, by Judge Sam Sparks in Austin, threw the race for the 22d Congressional District into new turmoil and gave victory to Democrats fighting to keep one of their most reviled opponents in the running. It enjoined the Texas Republican chairwoman, Tina J. Benkiser, from efforts to choose a new candidate.
