Chris Shays’ two Republican colleagues from Connecticut — Reps. Rob Simmons and Nancy Johnson — both go finger in the wind on DeLay.
While Shays says DeLay should go, reports the AP, the “state’s other two GOP moderates said it’s too soon to make such a judgment.”
Since the question is whether the Majority Leader should resign, that’s rather less than a vote of confidence.
(ed.note: I have no doubt the Democrats will be hammering Rob Simmons for a hundred different reasons over the next 18 months. And good for them. But though it may not be worth much, this is one case where I don’t think I’ll be joining in. Whatever else you can say about the congressman from eastern Connecticut, he played a small but important role torpedoing Social Security phase-out.)
