There was an interesting NPR Morning Edition analysis on this (
4 minute real audio here).
The last sentence (at 3:52 into the broadcast) was Cokie Roberts: paraphrasing, "The most damning thing I have heard is that he received a standing ovation at the Republican Caucus last week; this last happened to Jim Wright, just before he was asked to resign." Sounds like the Mafia giving you the Kiss of Death.
I suspect Chris Shays was specifically selected by others in his party to test the public reaction to forcing his resignation.
