Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), a primary architect of the House Republican majority who became one of the most powerful and feared leaders in Washington, told House allies Monday night he will step down from the House rather than face a reelection fight that appears increasingly unwinnable.
Well, the chief rat in the House has now jumped ship, and for him to do so, you'd have to think a federal indictment is in his near future, especially when you consider that Abramoff is only has ninety days to wrap up his help the prosecution before he heads off to jail.
I had wondered how long Delay would hang around even if he didn't face further legal problems. It's tough to go from running the House to being just another schmuck Congressman.
The good news just keeps rolling in this election year.
