Interesting speculation by Walt Starr over @ DKos.
I’m skeptical about that. Larry King asked Delay’s attorney if there would be a plea bargain and he told him “hell no.” They certainly have their game faces on.
But I’m not sure how grounded Delay is lately. His statement about the “ongoing victory” on budget fat was out there, and now his campaign website is saying that he’s only temporarily stepping down from his leadership position.
Add to that the fact that Delay is apparently calling the shots from the sidelines, by agreement, and you get a picture of a guy who’s not going to let go. The fat’s really splattering in the pan.
