They are going to hand 2006 to the Dems, simply because they think we'll lose votes if some jackass says they're uncivil. It's pre-Clinton all over again, and they don't see it.

In some ways I agree with this and others I don't. Delay is a slime ball, like many other pols on capital hill, but in a relative sense, I don't think he deserves to go (getting him out of the public eye is a different story, see trent lott). I'm unsure on Bolton, but given that Powell seems to be working back channels to derail the nomination, it seems there may be fire to that smoke.
But the bottom line is that Delay is the new Gingrinch/Bush. The Dems needs an evil doer to rally around, and they lost pinning that to Bush. Hastert is too "nice" and Frist is an idiot, but not evil. Delay is there man, and they want to ride him to 2006.
