On this Primary Election day, I think it's a shame that down in Texas, Tom DeLay is having to deal with trying to get his name off the November ballot. He resigned his House seat, but a judge said he can't come off the ballot, which apparently prevents another name from going on the ballot.
I say, let's look at some Democrat election history. In recent years, in Hawaii they ran a representative on the ballot who was dead, and she was re-elected. In one of the southern states, they ran Gov. Carnahan, who was also dead - I don't remember if he won or not. Why not apply some of that thinking? DeLay's not dead, he's resigned and apparently not running. So What??? Somebody campaign for him, and if the people vote him in, then he can re-resign if he wants, and the seat can still be filled by a Republican.
