Tom DeLay as Lieutenant Governor? Lol Lol. Are you kidding me?

Seriously, how in the world did Abbott choke ?

Unless you know about Texas Politics that I don't, January 20, is the White House.

As for how DeLay won the GOP Lieutenant Governor's Primary he basically was less unpopular than Dewhurst, that's it.

And in the Governor's race, Abbott didn't choke, he faced a candidate, who the entire state knew his last name, and that family name was still popular. Abbott was lucky to even make the runoff.
