Jerome- Any updated thoughts on Lampson?  If Delay continues to be poison, is there a primary challenger in TX-22 to try to keep it Republican?

Mike Ferguson has taken more money than anyone else from DeLay, and voted for MTBE exclusions.  How could they leave him off this list?

didn't Reichert take $20,000 from ARMPAC?  I think it's a good place to start taking back that swing district

He took over 40K from DeLay and contributed to his defense fund.
I think Marine Corps Colonel Tim Dunn makes a good contrast.

Their qualifications include:

Bowers doesn't like environmental groups.  I'm surprised the "new boss" allowed you to post this.

...The 7th in Colorado is an open seat anyway, with Beauprez bowing out to run for Governor...even better reason to "Hammer" him with this!

needs to beat him over the head with it and start defining Mark Kennedy as sleaze starting right NOW.

Something tells me that MN, unlike some other states, very much frowns upon corruption.

is quite winnable if the right candidate can be recruited.

Dont' forget about DeLay's Texas henchman Lamar Smith (R) TX 22 a TRMPAC supporter. With the indictment Wednesday 9/28 of DeLay , it seems inevitable that the House Ethics Committee will face the responsibility of investigating his questionable ethical activities and conduct. Americans should demand that there be a fair and thorough investigation to insure the integrity of the House of Representatives and to provide full disclosure of the findings from an investigation. To insure that such an investigation will not be limited or incomplete, we need to recognize that Lamar Smith must step down from his seat on the House Ethics Committee. Smith has extremely close ties to Tom DeLay. He has been involved in fundraising efforts for TRMPAC, the DeLay front group that has been under investigation and is now facing indictment for funneling illegal corporate campaign contributions to Republican candidates in the Texas Legislature. Lamar Smith has contributed $10,000.00 to Tom DeLay's legal defense fund. Lamar Smith took away a seat on the House Ethics Committee from a Republican who had voted to admonish Tom DeLay. Smith at a recent Town Hall Meeting in Austin Texas when asked about his support of Tom DeLay said "Tom DeLay is a friend of mine". Recently under extreme pressure from the national media, when asked what he would do if Tom DeLay was brought before the Ethics Committee, Smith said he would recuse himself. Recusing himself is not good enough. Smith must step down and allow an unprejudiced member of the House take the position, so that there will be a full committee effectively examining all the issues related to Tom DeLay's questionable ethical activities and behavior. Smith must not allow the honesty and integrity of the 21st District to be tarnished by even the hint of impropriety. I wonder if he understands that and will do the right thing?
