In news from Capitol Hill, House Republicans are preparing to overturn a House rule that bars members indicted by state prosecutors to remain in leadership positions. The Washington Post reports the rule change is designed to shield Majority Leader Tom Delay in case he is indicted in Texas. A grand jury is investigating whether Delay committed campaign finance violations in 2002 when he helped state Republicans gain control of the Texas State House. In September a Texas grand jury indicted three political operatives with ties to Delay as well eight companies who made donations to a political action committee created with help from Delay. In other news from the Hill, Democratic Senator Harry Reid of Nevada was elected Tuesday to replace Tom Dashchle as Senate Minority Leader.
