28% delusion

That's Tom DeLay's approval rating in his district, according to the latest Houston Chronicle commissioned poll. And there's more:

In the general election, he would face former U.S. Rep Nick Lampson, who is unopposed in the Democratic primary and polls highest among the probable November candidates. DeLay also may be challenged by former Republican Rep. Steve Stockman, who has filed as an independent. Stockman will need to petition for a place on the ballot.

If the general election where held today, DeLay would get 22 percent of the vote, Lampson 30 percent, and Stockman 11 percent. The remainder are undecided or support other candidates. The ballot also will include a Libertarian Party nominee and possibly another independent.

While DeLay's district still leans right, it seems Lampson has a very good shot at unseating the now former house majority leader. And since he's running unopposed, shooting some funds his way will only help the cause. Help Nick Lampson restore a Democratic majority here.
