Mayor David Wallace of Sugar Land -- which is not a cheesy nightclub but a city in Texas -- has just announced that, contrary to plan, he's dropping out of the race for the Congressional seat being vacated by outgoing Rep. Tom DeLay. Last week Wallace threw the Texas GOP into disarray by declaring that he'd run as a write-in candidate. He did this despite the fact that the Texas Republicans had selected Shelley Sekula-Gibb as their candidate, as part of a process Wallace derided as "something that may have worked in Moscow." But since making his vow to stand firm against the party bosses, however, he's had a sudden change of heart, and now appears to have soured on making the race.
