"Its also clear that Delay's questionable ethics are making it easy for the Dems to do so."

There are NO "questionable ethics". You are buying into the Dem propaganda.
I watched the Fox News roundtable, or whatever they call it, and people pointed out that everyone who is campaigning, gets help from family, because they trust them, and pay them out of campaign funds, which are PRIVATE DONATIONS, NOT taxpayer money, so it's totally legitimate and there is nothin wrong with it ethically or otherwise.
Also, about his trip to Russia, financed by a foundation -- there is no indication that DeLay knew who was donating to the foundation, and even if he did, that is totally legitimate too.
The Dems are just trying to make things sounds, as if there was something wrong, when in fact there wasn't.
