First Shays…then Rell, then Lieberman!!
SurveyUSA for Roll Call. 10/13-14. Likely voters. MoE 4%. (No trendlines)
Shays (R) 45
Himes (D) 48Recent internal polling from the Himes campaign had shown the race tied. As you surely know, Shays is the last Republican left representing New England in the House, and we want him gone.
He’s hung on so far as his district becomes more Democratic, and through the wave year of 2006. But with Obama leading in the district by 22 points (Kerry won it by 6 points in 2004), and a strong challenger in Orange to Blue candidate Jim Himes, this may be the year Shays’ fake moderate act stops pulling him through.
We Cannecticut get the Republicans out of Connecticut! Did you see what I did there? Cannecticut?
Wow, how do I come up with this stuff at 3 in the morning? Like right off the top of my head, folks.

You can have Shays. He is a plague on the Republicans.

Excellent, we’ll take him. Any others you want to throw under the bus, as long as we’re trading?
