Poll question: Will DeLay beat the rap?
An indictment only meant that he has been charged. Like in a chess game, Earle has made his move. Now DeLay gets to make his. And so on. Will DeLay beat the rap and not be convicted of anything?

Personally, I am not optimistic. I think he will somehow go free.

2. I agree, he's going to walk.
Earle hasn't prov-en to me he's even going for a conviction.

Compare this to exploratory surgery. You cut him open, look around, and find nothing, so you sew him back up and send him home. did he find anything, NO. Did he leave one hell of a scar YES.

3. He'll walk
Money and power will almost always trump justice.

Prosecutor Seeks DeLay Associates' E-Mails

AUSTIN, Texas - Three indicted associates of Republican U.S. Rep.
Tom DeLay are being asked to hand over to a Texas prosecutor all their e-mails from 2002 in an investigation into an alleged campaign finance scheme.

DeLay, meanwhile, railed against Democrats in a letter Thursday accusing them of engaging in "the politics of personal destruction."

The latest subpoenas issued by District Attorney Ronnie Earle request correspondence to and from e-mail addresses belonging to John Colyandro, Jim Ellis and Warren RoBold. He did not ask DeLay to provide e-mails.

Colyandro was executive director of Texans for a Republican Majority, a political action committee founded by DeLay. Ellis runs DeLay's national fund-raising committee, Americans for a Republican Majority, and RoBold is a Republican fund-raiser in Washington
