    Democrats sued to keep DeLay on the ballot. Keeping him on the ballot gives them the opportunity to make the indicted former House majority leader their symbol for claims that the Republicans are corrupt.
    I would say the corrupt people are those who want deprive the citizens of Texas the right to have two viable candidates. By doing what they have done they have demonstrated they care nothing for democracy, just winning. Nothing new in that, but it greatly reduces the shine from their self applied halo.
