It's only now received national attention for some reason. Yes, the reasoning is very obvious, but don't forget that DeLay's old seat is in an area of Texas where Sheila Jackson Leigh is constantly voted into office. DeLay's old stomping grounds are a bit more educated, true, but there's something odd in the water in the Houston area. My opinion of why Texas Democrats want DeLay on the ballot isn't to remind people DeLay is a Republican, but rather because we all know some people will vote for DeLay not knowing he's not actually running which will diminish votes for whomever the Republican Party is supporting. Just like how the Democratic Party fought tooth and nail to get Ross Perot on the ballot and Republicans supports Ralph Nader's election bids the Democratic Party in Texas wants the same to happen with DeLay's old seat. At lesat that's my two cents. The Texas Democrat Party, or whatever the full name for the party here is, has been fighting to keep DeLay’s name on the ballot for months now.
