Wistful for the Handful?
Chris Shays tells the Hartford Courant that he regrets not calling for a recorded vote on the DeLay Rule …
Shays actually spoke twice – only three others spoke at all – and said Friday he wished he had sought a secret ballot vote, particularly after DeLay boasted how overwhelming his support had been.
“I thought I had done my job at the time. Things happen quickly,” Shays explained. “We might have gotten 50 votes. We might have gotten 80 votes.”
Ah coulda beena contenda …
