if you're gonna beat Tom DeLay you gotta be able to throw a punch
but I guess Lampson's campaign is content to issue meandering statements and wait for DeLay to go down on his own.
09/28/2005
Houston, TX -- The Nick Lampson for Congress campaign released the following statement today regarding the indictment of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
Lampson campaign manager Mike Malaise stated: "This is not simply a political matter. A grand jury of his fellow Texans indicted Tom DeLay on this very serious charge. The trial of Tom DeLay will show what the former Majority Leader has been doing instead of working for his district back home. Whether he is convicted or not, it will become clear to the voters of this district that he has not been working for them."
Malaise continued: "Nick Lampson will continue campaigning as he has been doing. He will introduce himself to the voters of Southeast Texas and try to earn their vote. Congressman Lampson thinks it is not enough to be the anti-DeLay. He is working hard to show the voters of this district that he has a positive agenda with a record to be proud of and he is a positive alternative to Congressman DeLay."
It seems you should either go one of two ways: 1) Pop him: "This confirms what we've known all along: Hot Tub Tom, Jack Abramoff and their lobbyist cronies are a bunch of crooks. He should step down so we can have a campaign on the issues without his criminal distractions," or 2) Be snide: "Despite his history of ethical violations and clear flouting of the law, Tom DeLay deserves a chance to try to clear his name before a jury of his peers like anyone else indicted for a felony crime."
That's off the cuff, but come one, this is the biggest race in the country. Can't the Dems do better?

Lampson gains nothing by breathing fire. That is what the Party is for.
We have hired guns to do the candidates dirty work when possible When the time comes Nick won't hesitate to do what is needed.
His strategy seems to be to get 50 plus one. Not the 45% of Morrison. This is a world of difference between the two.
1. True, Lampson gains nothing by breathing fire, but the reason you have a spokesman is to go further than your candidate does.
2. If you're not gonna say anything, don't say anything with one sentence, no reason to wander around for 6 sentences to say nothing. If you want to stay out of it, just say "It's for the criminal justice system to decide. Nick is focusing on the issues that matter to the people of SE Texas." and leave it at that. The quote they give tries to split the difference and fails.
3. Every candidate's strategy/goal is to get 50 plus 1. Not sure what you mean by that. But if you mean Nick needs to run a campaign that aims to be as non-offensive as possible, I think you're wrong. We saw how well that worked for Kerry.
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it »
