Souring on DeLay in Sugarland
via Think Progress
Many of DeLays constituents believe his involvement in the case was a political ploy:
Republican Barbara Sanderson, 64, of Pecan Grove, said the affair contributed to her opinion of DeLay sinking from very, very, very favorable to something considerably less rosy. I think that it was a high-profile political ploy used by a lot of people, and I hate to see our president get involved, she said. Its embarrassing.
