Why isn't Shays a target? He only won by four points last time.
I can't speak for the party. But I'm a CT Democrat and I think Shays is pretty good, regardless of affiliation. It was great of him to denounce De Lay earlier this year. He's always a moderate on social issues, and those are what matter to me.
What pisses me off is how Simmons got re-elected the past 2 times (CT-2). The GOP really did put a lot of effort into his campaign though. I'd love to get rid of that guy, I don't know what he's done to keep his job in so short a career.
