Lampson is leading Delay!!!!

This is just a poll and it is way out in front of the reality of the election, but knowing the deep red politcal leanings of the folks down in Sugarland, this is still a bit of a story. Now, accept that Stockman, a republican running as an independent is draining the Delay vote, and that most of the undecideds would probably break Republican, this is still something. But I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, political novice Richard "Dick" Morrison pushed Delay from the democratic side in 2004.

In polling conducted Tuesday through Thursday, 22 percent of respondents said they would vote for DeLay, 30 percent chose Lampson and 11 percent favored Republican-turned-independent former congressman Steve Stockman.

And let me just throw in my plug, Lampson's a good guy, a former Dem congressman who was redistricted out of office by Delay. He's no novice, he's won a number of elections.

As example, let me offer this quote from the same article. "Lampson's campaign manager, Mike Malaise, said the poll suggests that "people in the district want a congressman who will make headlines for the right reasons." Hah!
