Former Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) may be busy shaking his booty on Dancing with the Stars, but that doesn’t mean he’s done thinking about politics. In an interview with Politics Daily, he casts doubt on Republican chances of winning a majority in the House in 2010:

Shaking his head with frustration, he added, “The Republican Party doesn’t have the organization or leadership to take advantage of this dire political situation that Obama is in now. We have these grassroots sprouting up, but not the party organization to use them.”

“Republicans are leaderless,” he went on, “so we’re just fighting each other instead of Obama’s radical policies. There’s no political leader of the party taking control. So, Republicans are just attacking each other for being too far right or too far left. Even Rush and Hannity are doing it.”

So who does DeLay see as the GOP’s up-and-comers? “No one,” he replied in exasperation. “It’s all the same old guys who were in leadership with me, and those old guys aren’t the leaders the party needs.”

He couldn’t name one viable leader for the Republicans, saying that the party has no chance, “barring a miracle,” of regaining the House or Senate next year.
