Ten Texas GOP Congressmen Endorse DeLay

Ten GOP Congressmen from Texas (including several who owe their seats to his Redistricting scheme) were in Houston Thursday night to endorse Tom DeLay (R-Sugar Land) in his four-way GOP Primary race.
Via the Chron:

“We’re not here because Tom DeLay is ‘The Hammer’ or because Tom DeLay is some intimidating, threatening character,” said Rep. Joe Barton of Ennis, referring to DeLay’s nickname as an enforcer of party discipline. “We’re here because he’s been a leader and a voice for positive conservative change.”
