No take-backs, DeLay!

Poor Tom DeLay - can't seem to make up his mind. First, he's running for re-election, leading the Republican primary elections in his Sugarland district. He says he's done nothing wrong, nothing unprecedented - full speed ahead.
Then, he's resigning from office and moving to Virginia. Now, he's trying to take back his primary victory so someone else can try to maintain Republican control of the district.
Well, the Federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals says no way - no take backs. DeLay wanted to run, and emerged victorious in his Republican primary - the voters have spoken. Now, in the words of the radical right, DeLay needs to face his opponent in an up or down vote.
If you were a play by the rules guy, Mr. DeLay, you wouldn't have run for re-election in the first place, let alone make outrageous statements that you didn't do anything wrong.
