I hope its bad enough to keep him from running again
<snip>Five months after voters ended his 22-year congressional career, Connecticut Republican Chris Shays is living what he calls a post-election “nightmare.”
He’s out of the job he loved and — worse — stuck with at least $200,000 in debt that his campaign says is the result of wrongdoing by a trusted longtime adviser.
Shays has been forced to hire law firms in Washington and Connecticut to help unravel his campaign accounts, and he owes $100,000 in legal bills to those attorneys, according to his most recent disclosure report filed with the Federal Election Commission. By law, Shays cannot shut down his campaign while it still reports a debt.
In the end, Shays is likely to spend far more figuring out what happened, and when, than he says he’s lost through any alleged wrongdoing. <snip>
