Sugarland Mayor David Wallace is expected to run as a write-in canidate for Tom Delay's house seat. Delay is currently working to have his name removed from the ballot, and is expected to support Wallace's congressional bid. This should help to keep that seet in the GOP's hands.

I wouldn't be so sure, the democrats will likely make a legal challenge to keep DeLay on the ballot and if that doesn't pan out they will probably challenge every write-in ballot. Anyway you slice it a long legal challenge awaits

I think DeLay can get his name OFF the ballot; that wasn't the problem. He wanted to get off and allow the Republicans to name a replacement candidate. That's what the court refused to do. The ruling was against the party, as I understand it, and doesn't force DeLay's name to stay ON - it only prevents him from being REPLACED. {Disclaimer: I did not personally read the decision, and am relying on characterizations in reports and commentaries around the time it was announced}.
This explains why the sudden push for a write-in campaign. The Democrat is a proven loser and the district is strongly Republican. The only Democratic hope was to keep DeLay and his legal problems on the ballot, or to keep all Republicans off of it.
I agree the Democrats will undoubtably attempt to challenge every write-in ballot if it appears the race might be close.

undoubtedly, the donks will try to challenge every write in vote. Good luck with that. This aint Flori-duh with a state supreme court that just kind of makes it up as they go along. Our Texas SC is elected and very conservative.
