The bad news is Tom Delay resigned. Is the good news that he is available to run for president in 08?

Considering that he's pulled out of the re-election race due to low numbers in the polls, it doesn't seem like a good idea. Add to that his other woes of late, and he seems to be more of a liability than an asset to the Republicans, especially in a bid for the presidency--unless he can improve his image and popularity between now and then.

He said, "Tenet's been talking to the White House."\n\nThen, by the end of July, he said, "It seems to have gone away." Then in early August, they did the PDB [President's Daily Brief] piece for the president on that. But there was a sense. I saw it in [Deputy Director of Operations James] Pavitt; I saw it in Tenet; I saw it in my friend -- [then-CTC Director] Cofer Black's a very close friend of mine. I saw it in all these guys, that they were desperately trying to get the people to focus on this. This was a real threat. \n\nIt wasn't that people were blasé about it. It's just that the new administration had a million different things, and this wasn't what they were -- it just didn't seem to be resonating.

It will be two more years before the Presidential Election.  John McKane, maybe.  Two years is a long time.  Bush will have served his time.  We will have to find someone to take his place.

He will in a couple years and then it will be on to the NEXT moron since no one qualified is stupid enough to run.  It is all a joke at this point.

It's apparently taking a break until the 2008 presidential election... :-)\n\nI really wish I knew.  I'd like to blame the partisan climate in the US for it, but that would be too easy.  So much fear and uncertainty breeds the kind of behavior your question suggests.  Maybe THAT I can blame on those that make policy.

He is no longer a congressman, as of January 16th. The district's offices are still open and staffed until the vacancy is filled, and their contact info is at the site below.\n\nEdit: Sorry, didn't realize he had become Senator. You can e-mail him at the site below. They prefer not to receive direct e-mail.

Evidently a bunch because nobody is answering they must be still counting. I have no idea all I know about is Tom Delay.

Because Delay is a name that everyone knows. The media is not liberal or conservative (except fox news) they are just sensationalists. The story that gets the biggest wow factor is the one they will keep running. Also, there is less to talk about given that he is obviously guilty, whereas the Delay case could be debated by the pundits for hours on end.

He has done a great job in Florida.  You would never know that we dealt with 6 hurricanes in the last two years.  He will be missed as our governor.  I don't think he will run for President.

First, I am curious where you heard this. I am very active in the political internet world and I haven't heard of this!\n\nSecondly - he can't do that. He has served as president and no matter which party he goes to, he can't be president again.\n\nWhich is a good thing!

Liberal scum??? Whiney Liberal??? Hmmmmmmmmmm, I'm guessing some of these fools will still be included as Dubya supporters when his approval rating hits 1% in 2008. My guess however is that, sadly, Dubya's worst times are ahead of him. There are big revelations about his presidency yet to be revealed. The Scooter Libey trial has only begun. And God knows Dubya will continue to consistantly screw up the world in the next few long years. But hey! What do we know. We're just liberal scum am I right?!   George Dubya, Still Fightin the Good Fight!

I am not sure you are any longer interested in this, since the election results are out. For detailed reports, you need to check the reports his campaign filed with election commission.\n\ncc

For the first time, I am answering a question... that I don't know the answer to!  However, I will say it's a DANG GOOD QUESTION!...\n\nGood grief, in Ohio they are announcing the Governor's Race and dozens of voting precincts ARE STILL OPEN!!!!  They extended the voting deadlines at many polling locations because of problems with the voting machines.  Less than 1% of votes have been counted...  So how do you KNOW who the Governor is, but still don't know who won the senate race?  \n\nMakes no sense to me.  I never put much stock in anything until morning.  Look at how bad the exit polls goofed in the 2004 elections.

The case against Delay was pretty strong, I don't think they can make as strong a case for any other republican, except you know who, but even then, out of respect for the office they may not.\n\nNot all, but the croooked republicans that you speak of ruined the economy, ruined U.S. credibility on an international scale as well as on a national scale.  Trust of this government is practically void, whether you ask someone abroad, or in this nation, at least an INFORMED person.\n\nBut, hey, this government has never been about complete justice, there have always been crooked politicians, it just so happened that one took it all the way to the top.  Might I add one of the worst presidents in the history of the U.S., at least Powell had dignity to resign when he knew he was wrong.

Darn tootin'  and  maybe that pesky amendment gets nullified and America turns to Geo W to lead them for another four years, wouldn't it be ironic if Geo W's one hard to dispute election would be for a third term in 2008?  History can turn on a year a month a week a day.    The second the new batch of Democrats get seated they'll be villified & trashed  by the well oiled Republican hate machine.\n\n(Must share my pet scenario - - Bush get 's 'incapacitated' on the same day Cheney has 'the big heart - - -,' then Pelosi becomes Prez within months of the 2008 campaign season.     That would be be a leap - - -   not that she won't be mentioned as a 'possible candidate' the next two years.)\n\nPeace...

It sort of amazes me that the Veep is still there, and that's wholly apart from his political mistakes.  He has really serious health problems.  I know, because mine are about the same (we even go to the same doctor).  He had a cardiac defibrillator installed about 6 years ago.  These things run on batteries, and the typical life of a battery is about 4 to 6 years.  \n\nHe is due for a replacement by now.  That would make a perfect excuse for him to be eased out, if Bush wants to do that.  But Bush would need to recommend a replacement, who would be subject to confirmation by the Senate.  If the Senate changes hands, as looks likely, that means the Democrats would get to vote yes or no on the new Vice President, who of course would be the likely Republican candidate in 2008.  I cannot imagine that Bush, the VP, or anyone else in the Republican part is very interested in having that happen.  Even other Republicans (like McCain) would not look forward to the possibility of a new Republican VP at this point.  So, if he goes, it will probably be because he genuinely has to.  Otherwise, he will stay on.\n\nGood luck!!
