The Houston Chronicle reports on a “hush-hush” September fundraiser for Tom DeLay featuring Dick Cheney. This is interesting for two reasons. One, it shows that the Bush administration remains totally supportive of DeLay (although it’s duly noted that Cheney and not Bush is the attendee). Second, it suggests that Republicans believe DeLay will have a serious re-election fight on his hands next year and needs mondo cash to wage it.
