Does anyone know if DeLay is at risk from the Abramoff scandal?
It seems at one time I remember hearing there was a tie between the two but I don't remember when or even if I really heard this.

7. Yea, I know he is in "hot water" I just didn't know if it was separate
from the Abramoff thing (i.e., a total new scandal).

2. Ronnie Earle

8. As the cons say, BIG TIME.
Most pundits think Earle's case is shaky, but the Abramoff scandal puts Delay deep into the thick of things. Bye-bye bugman!

11. Abramoff's partner was a former DeLay staffer
Michael Scanlon, Abramoff's partner in this money scam, was a staffer in DeLay's congressional office. Here's a couple links.
