The legality of the GOP actions to fill Delay's chair in the House has been moved from state to federal court.
WP:
DeLay resigned this month and moved to Virginia, but he won renomination in the Texas primary in March. DeLay's decision to resign from Congress and not run again means the GOP could name a replacement candidate without holding a special election....Interesting exercise reading both articles. Does the Houston Chronicle or the Washington Post lean more to the GOP side of the arguments? The WP does launch a separate story about a new website for Democratic Strategies at the end of the story in the article which, despite the headline, is a collection of political news stories.
"Tom DeLay and the Republican Party willfully and intentionally conspired to run a bogus primary to allow DeLay to raise funds for his legal defense, hoping to use state law to have a handful of party bosses handpick their nominee instead of the voters," said Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie.
