loss, Lampson may make a run at House leaderExcerpt:In the latest sign of fallout from redistricting, Nick Lampson – one of the Texas Democrats who lost his congressional seat last fall – says he's seriously considering a run against House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
And he's not alone. Democrats are increasingly confident that a strong, well-funded candidate could give Mr. DeLay at least a scare, as ethics controversies mount for the Sugar Land Republican.
"It would not be a fun effort. It would be very hard. It would be very ugly. It would require raising an awful lot of money," Mr. Lampson said last week. "But it's clear that his actions have changed my politics. He took my district away from me, and he took a voice away from the citizens of my community."
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!
