DeLay forced to run in Texas.
The plot, in brief, is that DeLay uses dirty corporate money to fill seats in Texas with Republicans, enough seats to get enough votes to force re-districting, to gain even more Republican seats, to actually tip the national balance of power, and then, when the whole scheme unravels, he tries to skip town to avoid disgracing his party even further, and they won't let him. He has to run, as a figurehead for corruption.
The other, actually important part of this story, is that all the Republicans that were elected as a result of his shenanigans aren't necesarrily going anywhere. That is, unless Tom DeLay, the political kamikaze, accidentally crashes the flaming wreckage of his career into their campaigns.
