When we ask liberals why a crooked democrat doesn't resign, they reply well the people keep voting them in office so why should they resign.

don't know that he was even opposed in the primary. As for fearing a loss, not likely.<?I> Yes, likely: "DeLay ran for re-election in 2006, and won the Republican primary election in March 2006, but, citing the possibility of losing the general election, he announced in April 2006 that he would withdraw from the race and resign his seat in Congress. He resigned on June 9, 2006, and sought to remove his name from the ballot. The court battle that followed forced him to remain on the ballot, despite having withdrawn from the race. After much judicial wrangling,[1] DeLay's name was not on the ballot on election day." en.wikipedia.org
