Endorsements Go DeLay's Way, But His Opponents Maintain The Polls Don't [Campbell 48%; DeLay 38%]

Admittedly, internal polls tend to overstate the support of the campaign commissioning them. (There are other factors that make this poll suspect, too.) Nevertheless, this news is another piece of evidence suggesting that DeLay may have to go to a runoff in the GOP primary.

I think DeLay will win and the liberal media are doing everything they can to encourage his opposition with "feel-good" reporting on everything they can scrape up to make them look good and DeLay look bad.

The MSM used to get by with this kind of tactic on a regular basis but after you see through them once, you will always see through their motives.

We know Barbra Streisand and Meathead Reiner are giving campaign money to Lampson, but I wonder who's giving cash to Campbell. Inquiring minds want to know...

I have never seen a primary like this one. Campbell signs outnumber DeLay signs in my subdivison. I'm not sure how good the predictive power of counting yard signs is, but I've never seen such public opposition to DeLay in the primary. The Campbell campaign is much more visible than the DeLay campaign on TV, radio and the ROW despite the fact that DeLay has spent 5x what Campbell has.

Campbell is DeLay's strongest primary challenger EVER!

Republicans are ready for change, and the results of the primary will be evidence of that. Campbell will outperform all previous challengers. I don't think there's any doubt to that.

Campbell has the backing of an RNC committeman. He has had a fundraiser with Gov. Huntsman (R) of Utah. Sen. Orrin Hatch's law firm has provided funding and well as Pete Dominici, Jr., son of Sen Dominici (R) of New Mexico.

Bravo Sierra! RINOs, Cowards and Traitors are!

Time for Tom to go. I don't know anything about Campbell but when I look at the results of tha last 5 years DeLay has participated in the largest expansion of government in modern day American history and for that and that alone, he should lose his job.

[misterrob]

Look at what DeLay has given us in the past several years and tell me how well he has represented conservatives. Spending us into further debt for more social programs is nothing but liberalism. Yeah, he might thump on Sunday mornings but for some of us there's more than just that.

I would imagine the Dems want DeLay to win the GOP Primary,

Insulting GOP primary voters is not a wise strategy to encourage them to come home in the general election. Unfortunately, I sense this is the attitude of the DeLay campaign, too.

Even if DeLay wins the primary (which is still likely), he has a lot of fence mending to do. DeLay should be positive now and reap the rewards in November. He isn't. I think that is a consequence of the strong challenge by Campbell.

Tom DeLay, Democrats worse nightmare, Terminator past and future, "I'll be back."

[Michael Goldsberry]

Why does Tom have a worse showing than in the past? Because of some Dim DA with bogus charges designed to do exactly this.

And you are encouraging such behavior against our side in the future.

[Luke21]

This reminds me of the MSM assaults on Newt and Jesse Helms every election cycle.

Tom DeLay, Democrats' worst nightmare, Terminator past and future, "I'll be back."

I can't wait to see Tom DeLay, the Movie. Heck, I don't even care if it's a Michael Moore production. You can help make it happen with a contribution:

You are mistaking something that is coincidental as being causal. I've got to believe that most GOP primary voters know that Earle's campaign is politically motivated. It appears that you think that I believe Earle's accusations and that other Campbell supports believe them, too. I find that insulting. The Campbell campaign has never alleged that the Earle indictments (TRMPAC) are legitimate.

Your insistence that Campbell supporters believe this is insulting.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Your insistence that Campbell supporters believe this is insulting.

Good. I've insulted them in other ways above.

[SolidSupplySide]

To support my point, here is the home page of Campbell's campaign website. In it, he calls Earle's indictment a "partisan attack".

Again, your insistence that Campbell supporters are "encouraging" Earle is baseless and insulting.
