DeLay and the 'culture of corruption' are having an impact:

So it's not WaPo, NYT, etc. But this put a smile on my face!

Congressional Internal Polling Shows a "DeLay Effect"

DeLay Having an Impact in Vulnerable Congressional Districts

For the past couple of weeks, we have been reporting on the rumblings in the House of Representatives; is a coup afoot? If so, who is involved? Could it really be successful?

Well, information obtained by ABP yesterday might add fuel to such speculation. No fewer than four Republican members of Congress in “vulnerable” seats 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. If this information isn’t troubling enough, consider the fact that these four Republicans are of the “cut and run” variety, and in no way loyal to Republican leadership to begin with.

In one such district, Tom DeLay has name identification over 75% and more than half of those respondents view him unfavorably. 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”: Nancy Pelosi’s shopworn phrase.

The more we find out about their misdeeds, the more they strut around claiming their innocence.

Remember Duke-Stir, he claimed his innocence back in July, then he had to finally admit his guilt and resign his
office.
The threads of democracy are starting to unravel, and the Repubs are starting to see the ripple effect.
It's only a matter of time!:popcorn:

The '06 election season should prove interesting:evilgrin:

Why do these guys all look so creepy. Brent Wilkes looks like someone I would report to the police, if I saw him walking around in my neighborhood. He looks like he might be a stalker. Plus his shade of lipstick is just not working for him. :rofl:
