What's the point? Chafee is the best we can hope to get from Rhode Island. It's the bluest of blue states and no conservative senator will be elected there in the foreseeable future. Chafee at least votes Republican on many procedural matters which is more than a Democrat will do.

The point is to replace the uber-RINO with an acceptable Republican. To say he is the "best" we can get in RI is defeatist and untrue. And lastly, Chafee cannot be counted on to vote Republican even on said procedural matters. He did not even vote for President Bush last November.

At some point, principle needs to trump considerations of political power. He's not a Republican. He needs to be tossed overboard.
What's the point of having a political party if you are going to extend membership to one who opposes your beliefs at every turn? It may be a big tent, but it's not a three ring circus.
