I dunno, if I were the Republicans I'd tell
Shays to pound sand.
WASHINGTON - Rep. Christopher Shays said today he will not seek another congressional term unless House Republican leaders support his bid for the job of top GOP member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
He is meeting with leaders and other key members now.
If they do not give him significant backing "I'm absolutely not going to run," said Shays, who said he is giving no one any deadlines.
Even if he runs and wins, and somehow gets denied the top Republican spot anyway in 2009, "I will resign," Shays said.
