Why Did Tom DeLay Decide To Not Run Again?

I'll bet Bush said that! Tom Delay should be in prison with Bush. He is just covering for Bush's @ss. When the Senate & House change in November, all of these things will come to the surface. They will reinstate these charges Federally. The Republicans that want to stay alive will start jumping ship. It's a coming.

Considering that he's pulled out of the re-election race due to low numbers in the polls, it doesn't seem like a good idea. Add to that his other woes of late, and he seems to be more of a liability than an asset to the Republicans, especially in a bid for the presidency--unless he can improve his image and popularity between now and then.

there are a vast amount of reasons for delays. Could be weather, supplies, staff issues, permits, mechanical breakdown, geotechnical issues, financial.. you name it, it happens.

He is the most promising politician in America, and eventually he is going to run for president. The case for running now It's just seems that it may not be the right time but then again it may be the best chance he will ever get. He needs at least a full Senate term before he is taken seriously but I think he should take his chances and run.

He's a stumble-bumb drunkard who should be in jail for negligent homicide for not helping Mary Jo.  Instead, he ran around for eight hours trying to get someone else to take the blame.  That he keeps getting elected says a lot about the mentality of the people of the state of Massachusetts. He got thrown out of Harvard for cheating and he cheated on his wife Joan and turned her into an alcoholic.

Their system is different than ours. His party has already told him that he is OUT but they get to pick a specific time for the next election. I believe I heard it was next March.

Whatever a politician has in their campaign fund when they retires is theirs to do with as they please.  Delay won the Republican Nomination for his seat in Congress, then he resigns his seat and the $1.5 million is his to do with as he pleases.  As his defense has already cost $1 million plus it is obvious that his campaign fund will be going to pay for those expenses.  There is nothing illegal about this and it is not just for our National Office holders all political campaign funds left in any politician's campaign funds are theirs to keep when they decide to retire from the local level on up.  I do not believe that Tom Delay resigned to use this money, he resigned as he knew he could not win the $1.5 million was just a bonus for doing so.

Yeah, no one really will know except Tom and Katie. Personally, I think Katie should run away quick and FAST. But then again, what do I know.

Houstonians selected Democrat Nick Lampson in the bitter race to succeed former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Tuesday, overcoming Shelley Sekula-Gibbs' strong write-in effort to save the seat for the Republicans.\n\ncc

He is done.  He still puts a lot of miles in on the bike.  But it's for a different reason.  He is really focused on his charity organization.  He doesn't need to prove anything to himself anymore when it comes to the TdF.  He thought about returning to show up the Frenchies.  But he realized that winning another Tour wouldn't shut them up.  They are just bitter b/c an American dominated their race for so long.
