 |  | SHAYS: “Himes independent claim fails the laugh test”An article in today’s CT Mirror notes that as, “the CT-4 Race is intensifying and will be closely watched...The Democrat who ousted Former Congressman Chris Shays two years ago, U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, is adopting his vanquished predecessor's sales pitch, proclaiming himself as New England's new maverick in Congress.” – Deirdre Shesgreen, CT Mirror, Himes tries to use Shays' old playbook, 8/25/10. BUT CHRIS SHAYS DISAGREES AND CALLS HIMES OUT… “This doesn't even meet the laugh test [voting with his party 94% of the time]…that is not independence.” – Chris Shays, via Deirdre Shesgreen, CT Mirror, Himes tries to use Shays' old playbook, 8/25/10. WHILE TOP PUNDITS SAY… “This election will come down to Chris Shays' [who supports Debicella] old voters…And a key question is whether those voters like the course Democrats are taking or whether they are wary of one party-control in Washington,” –David Wasserman, Cook Political Report, via Deirdre Shesgreen, CT Mirror, Himes tries to use Shays' old playbook, 8/25/10. “This election cannot be won by emphasizing one's partisanship [as Himes has]…The political middle is where all the action is… nearly 40 percent of the 4th District's voters are unaffiliated, the largest bloc.” –Gary Rose, Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, via Deirdre Shesgreen, CT Mirror, Himes tries to use Shays' old playbook, 8/25/10. DEBICELLA GAINING STEAM AND NATIONAL ATTENTION… “The noise level in this race has increased...generating more buzz at the national party committees… I do think it's closer than a lot of people realize...This is one of those next-tier races that could turn a big Republican year into a gigantic Republican year,” –David Wasserman, via Deirdre Shesgreen, CT Mirror, Himes tries to use Shays' old playbook, 8/25/10. “The Cook Report currently has the seat listed as likely to stay in Democratic hands, but the report's Wasserman said it will probably move into a more competitive category in the coming weeks,” Deirdre Shesgreen, CT Mirror, Himes tries to use Shays' old playbook, 8/25/10. |  | Get More Information Follow Dan Online  |  |  |
