Whatever you call him, it is my understanding that he was a major force behind the famous redistricting in Texas, which helped the Rep.s get a four or five seat pick-up. It may not be that the whole state wants a bunch of DeLays running around, but the districts can be manipulated to assist almost any political agenda if you get to draw them however you want. It has always been that way. It could be that the good people of Texas think exactly like they did a few years ago, but that the redistricting simply changed their representation drastically. Or they all love DeLay and want his clones in their district. One of the two.
