Uh, oh! Someone knows something about Tom DeLay that Tom DeLay doesn't want anyone to know.  

So what does he do? Why, the only thing that comes naturally to him -- he ran away -- to Virginia to partake in their delicious hams, their proximity to K-Street, and their distance from Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle.

It's true. The former House Republican Majority Leader has abandoned his reelection bid and is expected to resign from the House within the next few weeks. DeLay said "his decision was best for his district and based on troubling internal polling numbers" which "showed him beating Democrat Nick Lampson in the general election but in a race that would be too close for comfort."
