I wouldn't donate to Laffey, but I would vote for him over Chafee, and follow up with an letter (after he lost) advising both Chafee and the Republican National Committee exactly why.

Well I don't live in Rhode Island but I know what the GOP is up against there. Too often I read how we shouldn't coddle RINOs and it's better to lose and send a message than to win with a RINO. I still think maintaining committee chairs is more important but I've been savagely attacked for that. It will be interesting to see what happens here.
