You have an uber-RINO (Chafee), a 'Rat party hack (Whitehouse), and an excellent, conservative-leaning Mayor (Laffey) who is polling very poorly.
It must be very hard to be a conservative in Rhode Island.
........excellent, conservative-leaning Mayor (Laffey.......
Huh???
Laffey is a mayor of a meduim sized town, just like Chaffee had been.
Just because you are a hack mayor, gives no-one the credentials to become a Senator.
Chaffee has been an embarrassment as he had no big time credentials. Laffey would be the same idiot politician as Chaffee has proven to be, only worse.!
