It would have been close, and I think that DeLay might have pulled it off, simply because the district would try and keep another Republican in office. It would probably spur a recall as well.
But, if he stayed in, I would agree that it would sealed a lot more fates for other Republicans who won in very tight elections.
Exactly. DeLay would have, probably, survive - and Dems would have taken over another 10-15 districts elsewhere.
yeah i agree with that. I think there's also the very real possibility that Delay would have been expelled or forced to resign in order to defend himself in court after the election.
