Chris Shays

He'll be too busy losing reelection to Jim Himes.

OMG BAHAHAHAHAHA! Your funny!

Himes is an excellent Democratic candidate. He's a wealthy former banker at Goldman Sachs, he's from Greenwich, which we'll help him connect with the Rockefeller Republicans, and he speaks Spanish and used to live in South America, which is sure to boost his candidacy in the poor minority precincts of this district. If the GOP nominates a southern fried populist like Huckabee Finn, Shays is finished. Otherwise, expect a very close campaign.

Rly? Being from Greenwich wont do anything. Lets take for example, ohh... Ned Lamont. He was a former Selectman for the city, and he got about..hmmm 39% of the vote.  Speaking Spanish isn't going to help him outside of Bridgeport either.  I don't expect a landslide for Shays, but he'll be re-elected with about 52-54% of the vote.

Himes is also outfundraising Shays.  Part of the reason Farrell lost in 2004 was the decreased turnout in Bridgeport. If the Democratic nominee is strong here (which is likely due to the absence of the 9/11 effect), that extra turnout could nudge Himes past 48% and towards the elusive 50% mark.
