Even Christopher Shays

It seems likely that we won't have Senator Lincoln Chafee to kick around any more. If he survives his primary bid, there is a good chance the deeply azure Ocean State will turn him out for a real Democrat.

Of course, we might still have Rep Christopher Shays next door in Connecticut. I think it was Peggy Noonan who said that his first name should be "even" because Democrats would say "Even Christopher Shays said..."

Well, today the WaPo reports that Even Christopher "Urges Iraq Withdrawal."

Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), once an ardent supporter of the war in Iraq, said yesterday that the Bush administration should set a time frame for withdrawing U.S. troops. He added that most of the withdrawal could take place next year.

Shays, who faces a tough reelection campaign because of his previous support for President Bush's war policies, made his comments after completing his 14th trip to Iraq this week.

Even Christopher Shays. It's not a partisan thing. He's a Republican.
