If by some miracle Laffey won the Republican primary would Chafee support Whitehouse in the general election?
Chafee would support someone who shares his ideology... so he would support Whitehouse.
"Today Senator Whitehouse announced his bid for the White House..."
No.
I hope Chaffee gets flushed and I don't care who does it.
It doesn't matter. Laffey doesn't have a chance in hell of winning the general, even if he does win the primary.
That said, Lincoln Chafee makes Arlen Spector look like Jesse Helms, so we don't exactly gain anything if he wins.
My entire stance on this race is "Who cares?"
I guess I'd kind of rather Chafee win, just for bragging rights on election night, but other then that, he's worthless. We can't even count on his Majority Leader vote.
I was expecting a San Francisco-style story...
