FOXNews.com - Politics - Former Rep. Sets Sights on DeLay's Seat: "A former Democratic congressman on Tuesday launched a national fund-raiser aimed at unseating Rep. Tom DeLay (search) next year as the former House majority leader battles an indictment and ethics charges.
Nick Lampson (search) lost his congressional seat last November after Texas Republicans targeted him and other Democratic House incumbents in a DeLay-backed plan to redraw the state's district lines. Those targeted in the Lone Star State became known as the 'Texas Five.' The incumbents at risk were: Reps. Martin Frost, Charles Stenholm, Max Sandlin and Lampson. Rep. Chet Edwards was the only Democrat out of the five to keep his seat."
