Forget about nominating a conservative, let's draft Chris Shays! Get him out of the House already! We can elect a real Republican in his district, which is the most Republican in the state. And if Shays somehow beats Dodd, Shays would prove to be good for at least one thing. I think God put everyone on this planet for a reason; maybe Shays is supposed to defeat Chris Dodd and then live out the rest of his life as an annoying Senate RINO. I know, it would be nearly unbearable to see Shays's smug face in the Senate, but I'll take his 40 ACU rating over Dodd's 4 (or whatever it is) any day.

Forget it, you'll NEVER unseat *Christopher The Dudd*!

You can try, but I assure you, Dudd is too entrenched.

Shays is the best shot you have at dislodging this Slug, but if Shays thought Dudd could be defeated, he would already be running against him.

This is called "kicking someone upstairs." My late father once did that -- voted for a state representative to be lieutenant governor to get him out of the rep.'s position. People have voted for county commissioners for higher postions just to get them off the county governing boards.

I like your strategery. Shays is one of my least favorite Repubs, but taking power away from Daschle/Hillary is a good thing.
