DeLay, who has already resigned, must stay on ballot, judge rules; Appeal is expected
RAW STORY
Published: Thursday July 6, 2006
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, a Republican appointee, ruled that DeLay must appear on the Nov. 7 ballot as the GOP nominee for the congressional seat that DeLay abandoned last month. Sparks ruling was confirmed by Texas Democratic Party spokeswoman Amber Moon.
Sparks ruling halts the process of replacing DeLay on the ballot, but the GOP is expected to appeal the decision to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.If the Republicans lose on appeal, DeLay will have to decide whether to campaign for an office from which he already has resigned.
MORE SOON...

Well, I guess staying in the race long enough to raise money for your legal defense fund kinda backfired. If this ruling is upheld, Delay will be back on the ballot which will give Nick Lampson a surefire victory come November. Delay tried to weasel out at the nick of time to place a new candidate in his place.
