Think Progress has an excellent list of talking points on Ronnie Earle.
EARLE PROSECUTED DEMOCRATS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF STATE GOVERNMENT: "Some of the Democrats prosecuted by Earle and his Public Integrity Unit are former Texas House Speaker Gib Lewis, former Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox, former State Treasurer Warren Harding and former Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Yarbrough." [AP, 12/12/04]
EARLE AIDES WENT ON TO RUN FOR OFFICE AS REPUBLICANS: "Some of his top assistants have been with him for decades. A few have gone on to run for elected office as Republicans." [Los Angeles Times, 5/15/05]
Good wathcdog groups to keep up with include Common Cause, CREW, and the Campaign for America's Future. All have ben leaders on DeLay, and have extensive background on this indictment and DeLay's extensive ethical problems.
I would also strongly recommend this diary by Chris Bell, the former Representative who filed the first ethics complaint against DeLay before he was defeated by DeLay's ilegal map. Chris is running for Governor of Texas, so show him a little love.
I have to run right now, but this evening I will post the Republican talking points on Earle in the extended entry. In the comments, post other information you think is useful, as well as links to groups and blogs that will focus on DeLay.
