U.S. District Court Judge Sam Sparks ruled yesterday that Rep. Tom DeLay’s name must remain on the ballot in Texas’ 22nd District, despite the fact that he claims to have moved to Virginia. The AP has this story and NY Times has this one on the decision, which I’ve posted here.
DeLay is now hinting that he might run in Texas after all. According to this AP story, DeLay reacted to the ruling by saying: “For this guy to say he can’t tell where I’m going to be on Election Day, and that I am forced to be on the ballot, well, they may get exactly what they want.” The AP also reports that DeLay “didn’t say no” when asked if he would run.
