The DeLay Effect = Good News for Dennis Spivack

You know your party is in trouble when anklebitingpundits.com runs a story like this:

"(Republicans) have received recent internal polling data that shows "a Tom DeLay effect" that appears to give "any Democrat" on the ballot question an average of 10 percentage points against the incumbent. (snip) These data swim against the conventional wisdom among Republican strategists in Washington, which heretofore had held that the DeLay problems were little more than "inside baseball" and would have little impact out there in the hinterlands.

And what's the number one reason why Independents who were polled react negatively to Tom DeLay? "The culture of corruption"

Comments:
10 points ! I guess rumors about Castle pulling out of the race may have some substance after all.
 
Anon,

What the...!? He is getting old, but I have not heard anything. Back channel me an email.
 
66 is not old for a member of congress.
 
Okay, so it'll be Castle 60-40 instead of 70-30.
 
Gopher,

The last guy got 35% against Castle spending $0.00 to get it. Let's say 45-65 for now and see how things develop.
 
You Wish,

Not that I am giving any credence to the rumor sighted above, it turns out the average age for a Rep. in Congress is around 53. So, 66 is on the old side, and he would be 67 if re-elected.
 
If you mean Steve Biener's no-contributions campaign, I just heard him tell that he had to spend a fee of $3,000 to join the race (he took it out of pocket)..and that he took 48% of the vote.

48% of what vote? The primary? Against a certified idiot? Way to go!
