Last night, ABC's Nightline used the ad Public Campaign Action Fund and Campaign for America's Future produced during their piece on Tom DeLay's resignation announcement. The ad Nighline used ran this past January in Tom DeLay's district.

We all have heard about Tom DeLay's wife working for his foundation and former staffer's consulting firm, and his daughter working as a fundraiser for his PACs and congressional campaigns. But this one seems to take the cake:

Both John Doolittle (R-CA) and John Sweeney (R-NY) hired their wives to raise money for their campaigns.

Today is the day that Ronnie Earle goes to court to try and get some of the charges against DeLay reinstated. We'll post as soon as we hear anything. For background read today’s AP story at ABC News.

The Houston Chronicle has a story on how DeLay's ties to Abramoff, Scanlon, and his own indictments are hanging over him like a black cloud and how the scandals are affecting his campaign to retain his TX-22 seat. 

A state appeals court yesterday threw out more than 30 subpoenas issued by Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle in the criminal case against Tom DeLay.
