"Carpet Bagging" in Reverse 

The Texas Republican Party wants to remove the ever-corrupt Tom DeLay from the upcoming ballot and replace him with someone not under a cloud of suspicion and criminal indictments. The Democratic Party is opposing this saying DeLay withdrew from the race and his name should remain on the ballot.
