	Westport Minuteman - Defining Christopher Shays
		Shays, who visited the Minuteman this week as he made the rounds of editorial offices throughout the district, described himself a "passionately moderate," although he continues to take strong policy positions that put him at odds with many voters in Fairfield County and with leaders of his own party in the House.
		But Shays believes that the Republicans in Congress have "lost their way," losing sight of their previously stated agenda of ethics reform, getting a handle on finances, and many other issues.
		In a district like this, tagging Shays as a Bush-backer might be a potent avenue of attack, if Farrell could make the accusation stick, a difficult task given Shays' moderate record and his endorsements by several liberal interest groups.
