Lampson wins TX-22 - Political quickhits

I'm not going to blog Lieberman/Lamont. I think that information niche is being more than adequately served.

Tom Delay's current plan appears to be to support a write-in candidate which I think is pretty sure to split the Republican vote with Delay. Say hello to Congressman Lampson. (He'll probably only get one term out of that district.)

This might be an outlier or poll fluke, but Democrats outpolling Republicans on trust them to "do a better job handling the U.S. campaign against terrorism," doesn't bode well for Republican 2006 midterm hopes. (WaPo. 1,000 people. Aug 3-6)

And, Congressman Bob Ney (R - OH.) only stepped aside after he was threatened by House leadership. "If he lost his House seat for the party, Boehner is said to have cautioned, Ney could not expect a lucrative career on K Street to pay those tuition bills, along with the hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees piling up."
