DeLay is out!

DeLay Gives Up Bid to Reclaim House Post
WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom DeLay, the defiant face of a conservative revolution in Congress, stepped down as House majority leader on Saturday under pressure from Republicans staggered by an election-year corruption scandal.

The 58-year-old DeLay, an exterminator before his election to Congress in 1984, said he intends to seek re-election next fall. "I plan to run a very vigorous campaign and I plan to win it," he told reporters in Texas.

The voters aside, his political future will hinge not only on the outcome of the Texas allegations, but on the future of the Abramoff investigation.

Pretty funny that he is talking so optimistically about his campaign when the only reason he would give up his spot as leader is that he has got to know that he is going down! I don't think he will be doing much campaigning from a jail cell!
