Race Analysis

After eight comfortable re-elections, Rep. Christopher Shays had close calls in his last two races thanks to his support for the war in Iraq. Now, as the lone Republican House member from New England, Shays continues to get hit on the issue by Jim Himes (D), a businessman and non-profit executive who has stayed financially competitive.
