Take The City And Run

Newsweek’s weekly “Conventional Wisdom” list can often be very effective at cutting to the heart of matters. This week’s list revealingly shows no ups for any topics — Bush, Miers, DeLay, Senate, Saddam Trial, J. Miller — but perhaps most interesting is the blurb about Tom DeLay’s woes:

Puts on a happy face for his mug shot. But guess who’s moving into his district: Katrina evacuees. Gulp.

With so many people forced to relocate throughout the Gulf states — many of them permanently — it stands to reason that many of them will end up in DeLay’s district and might be more than a little upset with the governmental response to the recent hurricanes. If DeLay somehow manages to survive his current legal ordeal, will he be able to survive a surge of new angry voters in his district?
