Remember, Tom DeLay can voluntarily withdraw from the TX 22 ballot. The state party just can't replace him. But -- what if DeLay steps aside and endorses a write-in candidate? That's a possibility, reports Time's super-scooper Mike Allen.Allen does have good sources - he was the first guy DeLay told he wasn't running.A Republican official with first-hand knowledge of the deliberations by DeLay said he "more likely than not" will go that route, although he had not made a final decision. "With DeLay, you never know," the official said.
UPDATE: Yep, he announced it. He's taking his name off the ballot, otherwise it's "hypocrisy." That's rich. DeLay worried about being a hypocrite.
