About That "Bias"
Another example of how anti-conservative, anti-DeLay the Chronicle is </snark> ... they get the facts wrong on his 2006 retreat & surrender from the ballot box:
"DeLay withdrew from his 2006 general election race against Lampson after a court ruled the Republican Party could not replace him on the ballot."
Astute political historians will, of course, recall that DeLay resigned well BEFORE Judge Sam Sparks (R-Texas) ruled that the Republican Party could not replace him.
Will there be a correction in the Chronicle? Will it happen faster or slower than it took the NYT to correct an obviously false Hillary Clinton story?

DeLay did resign from office well before Judge Starks' ruling. However, his official withdrawal did come after the ruling - the whole point of the affair was that he claimed he had become ineligible by moving to Virginia, which would allow for him to be replaced (dying was apparently not an option), as opposed to withdrawing, which everyone agreed meant he couldn't be replaced.
So, I'd call this accurate but not fully informative.
The article also says that Lampson is from Beaumont. I believe Lampson now lives in Stafford.
And as far as having the chronology wrong about Delay's cutting and running from what was promising to be a difficult race, at least the Chron didn't say that he had also stopped mistreating small animals.
