Lampson's chances, redux

The loudest sound in Washington this week was the huge sigh from [GOP] officials relieved that their chances of holding Tom DeLay's [seat] have improved from, at best, 50-50 to more like 90-10.

Four days ago on Tuesday, I wrote:

But right now I'd say the odds of the GOP holding the seat at about 10:1. In other words, there's a 9% chance that Lampson holds this seat next January.

I'll forgive Cook for rounding up.

Despite the levity in my self-congratulation, I thought it was worth passing along.
