The Number of "Cut and Run" Connecticut Pols Growing

Congressman Chris Shays of Connecticut, one of the more ineffective moderates in the Republican Party, has had an electoral epiphany. He has decided that cutting and running isn't such a bad idea after all. There's nothing like electoral results to help a politician see the light on the road to Damascus.

If it's good enough for a Republican pol, of course, it's good enough for a politician who has no principles except to get re-elected. So Joe "Me First" Lieberman has decided to have his own epiphany by proxy from Shays.

The "cut and run" crowd continues to grow. Let's just hope these opportunists don't get away with their late conversion to their new political faith.
