Dude, Chafee has a 26% conservative voting record.
His is lower than many DEMOCRATS!!
Chafee is NO HELP to the GOP and NEVER was.

Given that it appears we may well lose 51-49 he was a big damn help. He caucused with the right party. Had Lincoln won, we'd have control of all the senate commitees locked up. His loss could have huge consequences in terms of legislation and court nominees.

Well "DUDE," it won't much matter now will it?
Now with the apparent Dhimi control of the Senate, we can kiss goodbye any chance we had (albeit slight) of getting another Conservative on the bench for the SCOTUS.
That ought to make you sleep well tonight.
Chaffee was good for organizing the Senate leadership and committee assignments.
It doesn't matter what his voting record was! He was an "R" seat and allowed us to maintain the majority. Now, we don't have the majority. Sure he voted against us, but we still got to control the legislation that made it to the floor and control the debate. We don't get to do that anymore. So, for all of you that failed to vote because a RINO was running, think of this...we lost the majority, conservative judges, the chance to push our ideas on immigration, the chance to fight tax increases, in a nut shell the ability to counter the Dems in the House, because you wanted to send a message to moderates. Hope you are happy. Remember this in '08. If we can't defeat a moderate (liberal) Republican in the primary, we better support him in the general, because we need the majority when all is said and done and the next two years is going to teach us that lesson.
Apparently you don't understand committee assignments.

Yes but having him would mean we would be in charge of all the commitees. That would be HUGE!
