Embattled DeLay Running Hard

Reuters has an article this morning about how Delay's having a harder time in this race than he's had for a long while. No doubt the many controveries surrounding him and all the people he has pissed off is fueling his opponents. He is still expected to win, unfortunately, however he could get below 50%, a big drop from the 63% of the vote he won in 2002. Though Democrats have been doing well in congressional races so far, it's unlikely they will take the House, but they could narrow the gap considerably. Though Tom Delay still gets to be Speaker, losing Republican seats and almost losing his own election will weaken him considerably. Even if Kerry is elected, he is still going to have to put up with at least a Republican House, so this is a very good thing indeed.
