U.S. House Key Race:
Connecticut's 4th District
November 7, 2006
Shays
Holds Off Democrat in Connecticut House Victory
 In
a replay of a tight 2004 election, 10-term Rep. Christopher
Shays, R-Conn., edged past former Westport First Selectwoman
Diane Farrell, D-Conn., to win Connecticut's 4th District.
Shays, a moderate Republican and longtime supporter of the
Iraq war, became one of the few Republicans to call for
a timetable for troop withdrawal last summer.

Connecticut
House Candidates Ratchet Up in Final Days
The final weeks of the House race in Connecticut's 4th District
have seen an increase in partisan vitriol but only a slight
shift in polling numbers. According to a University of Connecticut
survey conducted in late October, Democratic challenger
Dianne Farrell has erased the five-point lead held by incumbent
Republican Rep. Christopher Shays at the start of the month.
But Shays' third-quarter fundraising and cash-on-hand advantage
may be enough to prevent Farrell from gaining momentum in
one of the nation's most competitive House races.

In
Re-match, Moderate Shays Faces Tough Challenge from Democrat
Farrell
In the two years since Republican Rep. Christopher Shays
won by a narrow margin against Democrat Diane Farrell, the
Iraq war has created a shift in Connecticut's political
landscape that could give a boost to Farrell's campaign.
While Shays -- a long supporter of the war in Iraq -- called
for a timetable for withdrawal, Farrell will still try to
paint him as a pro-war, rubberstamp of the Bush administration.
