What a bunch of worthless right-wing propaganda. How the hell is it possible to exaggerate the scandals involving DeLay? He's involved in so many of them. Change your avatar already, Sam Spade. You are no Democrat.

Uh, what does this have to do with the topic, fern?  I just posted the announcement article from the Houston Chronicle which was copied from the Associated Press.  I didn't know the Associated Press was right-wing propaganda.

My minor commentary above is quite accurate, but has nothing to do with Tom DeLay. 

It has to do with the fact that Chris Bell is a laughable candidate.

Reasons:  Historically, he is a white candidate who appeals to the already Democrat latte liberal classes in Houston, Dallas and Austin and has had zero ability to gain votes among the black and Hispanic communities, either when he ran for mayor in 2001 or when his district got gerrymandered against him in 2004.  I should know about 2001, I voted for him then.  He also has zero appeal in the suburbs of Texas or in the rural areas.  With that combination, he'll be lucky to reach 40% against any candidate in Texas and with Kinky Friedman in the race, the number could go much lower.

Compare this to the successful outreach of my former Congressman, Gene Green, a white man who won a race in a 65% Hispanic district and who has not been seriously challenged since.

Fern, honestly your blind hatred gets the best of you sometimes.

My blind hatred? No, it's my willingness to criticize the worst adminstration ever. You are no Democrat. Change your avatar.
