With the DeLay resignation will more Republicans follow suit?

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.

*sigh* unfortunately it's most likely going to be more of the same old crap.  Just like the republicans were pretty much corrupted by all their power, the same will likely happen to the democrats.\n\nWell, that's assuming they're going to stay in power past the next election.  I guess we can all hope that we'll see some actual positive changes in the upcoming months.... but I'm not holding my breath.

No he should not resign. He has a responsibility to his party and to his constituents to commit to his role and right his wrongs. Furthermore, who would replace him? Another crony? An unprepared opposition? There is a wonderful process called democracy that means we can vote him out if we don't like him. If anything, he could call an early election, but he should not resign.

Yes and they are starting to pay. DeLay just dropped out after his top aids started talking to prosecutors. Duke Cunningham is going to jail. Libbey is facing some serious charges and they are still investigating Rove. There are so many Republicans connected to Abramoff we'll be seeing trials and convictions for a long time now. \nThe Republicans will most likely lose their majorities in both houses this November. Sure there are some corrupt Democrats. The Republicans won the majority in '94 because of that. In twelve short years their corruption eclipses what they replaced by a long shot. It's time to clean house again. \nClinton lied about a private affair, which while immoral, concerned only his family. He admitted he was wrong and apologized. We're still hearing about it. Bush lied and led us into a war which has killed thousands, bankrupted the country, and $enriched Cheney and Co. He still has not admitted any mistakes or apologized to the families of the soldiers he killed.\nThis is just the tip of the iceberg. GOP=Culture of Corruption

Only if Dick Cheney resigns first.

Well, that's a good question. But to me it seems like it might be true, managament after this scandal rather backed off and resigned...

No, and maybe. It depends on if a democratic majority is returned to congress this year, if we leave it for the repulicans it will never happen.

theres a strong chance that in the next series of elections the power will shift to the side of the democrats and they'll move to do some impeaching. there really dont seem to be any great candidates on either side as of yet though, so who knows?

That's true. From what I've seen, it looks like Republicans may keep a thin hold on the senate. So even if they have the house, neither side is going to make much progress in the next few years.

yes and it will be a republican

I cerainly hope so. Tomorrow is the big day. And I hope the Republicans are defeated soundly. If there are some "turncoats", then they are the real patriots. Take America Back!!!!

He would have to resign.  The Republicans could then put in their next candidate for President and give them a headstart.  But Gunner Dick won't do it - he's too bullheaded.

Yes, everyone's given a sigh of relief, and now are holding their breath.  There will be a brief intermission before the pitched battle between the hard right and the new Congress starts up.  We're all just going to have to have to wait a bit before we get new material to debate!  Not that there's ever any shortage, just shortage of interest.

Its getting harder to tell the difference. Republicans are going to get creamed this fall so they should enjoy it while they can.

its pretty much over now but won't be certified till the 17th then the loser has the right to ask for a recount...so we may not know for sure who won till late December....however it is pretty much impossible to make up 6,000 or more votes...Webb has won Virginia...it would take a miracle for the republican incumbent to win in a recount...it is in the bag that the dems will control both the house and the senate
