Tom DeLay--1 Ronnie Earle--1

Although Representative Tom DeLay (R-TX) was able to get a judge to throw out an indictment without having to put on any evidence, a feat almost unheard of with a competent, fair prosecutor, he couldn't get the second indictment (which seems no stronger to me than the first) thrown out in time to keep in the battle to continue as the majority leader in the House. If that's what Earle really wanted to do, get DeLay out of his leadership role, he's won a round too.

I don't know if DeLay should get any special praise for bowing out, but it is the right thing to do (especially in light of the rumbling storm clouds of another round of indictments for playing golf with Jack Abramoff, or something like that).
