Will Shays Pay a Price?

Will Shays Pay a Price?



Pay to play Roll Call wonders aloud if the GOP will punish Rep. Christopher Shays' (R-CT) for criticizing Tom DeLay. They're thinkin' not and I agree. Shays has either the second or third most pro-Kerry district held by the GOP, and they know he's the only kind of Republican, maybe the only Republican period, who can hold it. Of course, he'll be shunned Amish-style within the GOP caucus, but he's a vote for control. He's only said he wouldn't vote for DeLay for SPEAKER, which takes 218. BugKiller doesn't NEED to be speaker when he's running the show as Majority Leader. And Majority Leader only takes 110 votes - within the GOP caucus. And the Ex-Terminator will be gone long before his support sinks that low.



The number one pro-Kerry district held by the GOP? That would be Iowa 2...
