Tom DeLay is pulling out of his re-election contest. Weasel to the end, he's doing it by changing his legal residence to his condo in Virginia. I'm seeing a bunch of posts on Texas election law, and it looks to me like the question of whether the GOP can name a replacement for him on the ballot is likely to end up in the courts.

It would be a remarkable ending to an ignominious career if DeLay handed the seat to Democrat Nick Lampson on a silver platter.
