WASHINGTON - Westport, Conn., First Selectwoman Diane Farrell, who came close to knocking Rep. Christopher Shays out of his 4th District seat, is back on the campaign trail; but exactly which trail remains a mystery.

What the Democrat won't say is for which office. She is considering either a rematch against Republican Shays or running for statewide office. She will decide in the next few months.

Farrell is also doing the little things necessary for anyone planning to run for office showing up at community events, attending political functions and calling on Capitol Hill power brokers.

Diane Farrell is an excellent candidate and would do very well if she gets into this race, said Greg Speed, a spokesman for the DCCC. We view this district as one of our best opportunities, not only in the state but in the entire country.

1. She should run again! She came the closest to ever defeating...

Chris "Bushbimbo" Shays.

Shays: 51.8%
Farrell: 48.1%

That's 3.7 percent. Shays has always won by large double digit wins since 1986. Farrell is the best we have and she can do it!

2. More power to her, no matter which race she runs in.

Maybe she could challenge Holy Joe in the Democratic primary.

3. I second that motion! Take on Joementum in the primary!

4. Diane Farrell

Go Diane!!! I hope the people of Connecticut wake up and elected her instead of some Repug
