“It’s very hard these days to be a leader like John Boehner who tries to find the middle ground,” said former Connecticut Republican Rep. Chris Shays, one of the last Northeastern moderates, who was beaten by Democrat Jim Himes last year.

That statement shows how out-of-touch Shays and many of his GOP colleagues are.

"...tries to find the middle ground... and yet, Shays "... was beaten by Democrat Jim Himes."

When they push to the middle, they lose. So they complain that their colleages aren't pushing to the middle.

They are clueless.
