Be careful what you wish for
When Tom "The Hammer" DeLay left Congress, triumphant Democrats filed a lawsuit to keep his name on the ballot, figuring that the so-called scandal would taint any other Republicans on the ticket -- and prevent any other candidate for the seat appearing for the GOP, meaning that the Dems could win the seat without any campaigning, or money.
A federal court has backed their play, ruling that DeLay's name will stay on the ballot, which means the Texas Democrats are happy, right? I suppose, except that DeLay says if his name is on the ballot, then he's going to run hell-bent-for-leather to win the election.
D'OH!
Captain Ed has the details.

Poor Dems -- the campaign commercials will likely be real bruisers.
Between the Bill Keller fiasco and now this, it's as though they're trying to hand over the elections to any semi-coherent Republican. Very weird.
