RI Ping!
Laffey ought to run against Chafee.
There's some good discussion on this thread about keeping Chafee on board, but I can't get over the fact that he stood shoulder to shoulder with the Brown U. anti-war protestors.
Laffee seems like an OK individual.
But being a mayor of a small city for two years does not make Senatorial material, just like Chaffee being mayor of a small city for a few years dosen't allow him to live up to the reputation of his father.
Surely, we in RI can come up with a better candidate (but names escape me)
