Blue America welcomes Jim Himes on FDL

Jim Himes, who is running against the very erratic Chris Shays in CT, is liveblogging on FDL right now....

The last year has been fascinating and challenging. The Bush administration and its supporters in Congress, like Chris Shays, have so wildly bungled nearly every aspect of governance that it is hard to know where to start. Our fiscal deficit has ballooned, our credibility abroad has been destroyed, our economy is hostage to foreign creditors and spiralling oil prices, our Constitution has been tossed aside like so much used Christmas wrapping, and the really critical problems facing most of America--healthcare, education, rocketing energy prices--have been ignored. Seriously . . . where to start?...read on

Remember Chris Shays and his starring role in: "Blogger Rage"

POLITICS IS LIKE DRIVING. PUT IT IN R TO GO BACKWARDS, OR PUT IT IN D TO GO FORWARD.

Never saw the clip. Chris Shays must be very proud of his record. So proud he won't take questions from a Democrat who might be taping him. What confidence he has in his political philosophy and what he has done.

Apparently this guy doesn't like being a public representative and have someone actually find out what he's doing. Just vote and shut up I guess. Doesn't the President provide for the press to follow him around the country? What is this guy trying to hide or coverup?

Please support Himes. Shays was Lieberman before Lieberman was Lieberman

I don't get it. Why is Shays so terrified of transparent government? Does he do some committee meetings nude or something? I mean, sure, some bloggers aren't really journalists. Some are. (Any more than Krystal and Rove are 'journalists' though they write pieces for major press). But what a whining ninny.

Maybe he was traumatized by the "macaca moment" and has had to refrain from tossing out egregiously racist statements now. Poor rich white guy, makes you kinda feel sorry for him. Or not. He's the kind of guy I can see railing on: "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"

I'm not sure why... he just seems like that kind of guy.

Shays is such an ass. When he ran last year, he attempted to be a moderate, then turned venomous during the election. He's since become a rightwinger and supported all of Bush's bs.
