Thanks to "WhipDeLay" etc for your comments. Where from Here?
Good question. It appears a Special Election is coming up and I see a million candidates will be running for District 22 now that DeLay is riding off into the sunset a step ahead of the posse (OK I’m exaggerating slightly on the numbers) .
As DeLay dodges the Fed posse, another posse of candidates will be vying to replace him, each with contacts in only one portion of the district or another – or none. This district covers parts of FOUR counties. Sugar Land is about 11% and folks in Pearland and Clear Lake and Rosenberg view the world differently – and don’t necessarily like Sugar Land hogging the limelight.
So it could be a free for all. Ironically, the only people with exposure in all of the 4-county district are the three of us who just finished the primary.
However, as news of people jumping in have spread, I see this could shape up as a ZOO with a "cast of thousands" running on the GOP side -- splitting the vote -- leaving the Democrat with a plurality. I see no use putting myself through that, fans notwithstanding...

I get information from FACTS. Congress reps are replaced by Special Election, not appointment. It's in the Constitution. They can appoint a "candidate" but if TD steps down as a member of Congress, its a free for all Special Election Dudes!
Note the last part of the blog has been modified. I took the comment to heart..my mission was done when DeLay bowed out. It is time for me to move on to other things beyond District 22...
