DeLay Denied
By Vince Leibowitz
Most of you probably have already heard/read that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has denied Tom DeLay's requests for relief (a writ of mandamus and a writ of habeas corups) requesting that the money laundering charges against him be dismissed or sent back to a lower court for an immediate trial.
But, for those who have not (and I appologize for not posting this earlier and just doing links now, but...), you can read news stories here, here and here. Also, Pink Dome and Off the Kuff have some good reads on the subject.
To view the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals' logs on the two cases, go here and here.
And, just because it's been bugging me while reading the blogs this afternoon...NOTE to all out-of-state bloggers: The Texas Supreme Court did NOT hear Tom DeLay's case. It was the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. In Texas, we have two top courts—one for civil and one for criminal appeals.

Rasmussen has polling out for the Texas Governor's race and it sucks
Gov. Goodhair - 40%
Carole Manynames - 21%
Chris Bell - 14%
Kinky - 12%
Yes.. FOURTEEN PERCENT.
Gammage will be in the next poll. Hopefully he won't pull in such a low percentage like Chris Bell did.
The TROD Strategy will have to work very hard to do to actually get Chris Bell past 25% statewide before April.
