I've been fairly hopeful all through this thing. But I would pretty much call it over. Two years of Lampson ahead and then OUT the door.
I really really really wish DeLay woud just run...
If Lampson doesn't get indicted first. < /s >
Of course the Democrats HAVE NO SUCH POLICY of stepping down from leadership positions while under investiagtion.
Another suggestion to work around this is to encourage voting by mail.
A written ballot would not have this cumbersome dial to contend with.

To be eligible to vote early by mail in Texas, you must:
- be 65 years or older;
- be disabled;
- be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance;
or
- be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible.
Fill out the form below, and not later than the next working day, an application for ballot by mail will be mailed to you. You must mail the application to early voting clerk of the authority conducting the election.
The early voting clerk is the county clerk or elections administrator for your county. Click here for a list of the county clerks.
For more information, please read the Early Voting in Texas pamphlet.
