Delay has seen the handwriting on the wall, and is not going to take a chance of seeing his district go Democratic in the fall. We'll see. This article from Time has a really interesting quote in it. During a tour of La Casa Delay in folksy, aw shucks Sugar Land, Texas, Mrs. Graft and Corruption makes this stunning observation:
His wife, a formidable daily force in his office with a voice in nearly all scheduling and media decisions, pointed to a photo of former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and noted, "That's when we thought she was going to be conservative."
I wonder if that quote and a time machine would make Sandra Day O'Connor reconsider her vote in Bush v Gore. Of course, I wonder if she wonders about that vote every day at sunrise.
