Chris Shays, R-Conn., who said, "Tom's conduct is hurting the Republican Party, is hurting this Republican majority and it is hurting any Republican who is up for re-election." Shays called for DeLay to step down as majority leader. | | | Democrats, having been blown off the map by DeLay's hardball politics, now are launching their own counteroffensive against the embattled Republican congressman. |
