Yeah, don't let the facts get in the way. Meanwhile, here's the ACTUAL results in RI
Rhode Island - Governor 2006
Don Carcieri (R) 197,013
Charles Fogarty (D) 189,099
The truth is that Northeast is now clear of RINOs. The "unelectable" conservatives there are still holding office. When voters have to choose between a Dem wannabe and an actual Dem, they're always go with the geninue article. Ideologically, there's no change in RI.
I, for one, am very pleased "unelectable" pro-life, pro-family, pro-tax cuts Don Carcieri was RE-ELECTED and Hillary clone Chafee had his @$$ handed to him.
Chafee wasn't a (R) RI had a choice Chafee(D) or the other guy
(D)
