Tom Delay to face Primary Opponent 
According to the Houston Chronicle, Tom Delay will have a primary fight on his hands, in the person of Attorney Michael Fjetland, who has run against DeLay as a Republican and an independent. He has officially filed in the 2006 GOP primary for the 22nd Congressional District.
"I was not willing to run again. I had decided not to," said Fjetland, who filed on Friday. "But when the indictment came down, it became a whole new ballgame. It really does change the entire dimension of the whole thing. If he's convicted and I'm not on the ballot, then no one is."
I'm not sure if this is a serious challenge to the Bugman, but at least he's going to have to spend some time and money on this, I'm sure.
