quote:Tony C. Rudy, a former deputy chief of staff to Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), pleaded guilty yesterday to charges that he conspired with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff to corrupt public officials and defraud his clients, as a burgeoning corruption probe took one step closer to members of Congress.

Regardless, I have to imagine with all the charges pending against him, and with the Texas redistricting facing an overturn, that his presidential bid is shot to hell. I don't think him facing serious competition in his home district is out of the question either.
He may end up escaping jail, but his political power is shot.
