"Regrettably, we have seen an erosion in the Senate of centrists on both sides of the aisle," said Sen. Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, a Republican moderate whose leverage may drop substantially in the next Congress. She said she hoped Bush will push for cooperation between the two parties.
Another GOP moderate, Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee (R.I.), expressed even deeper disappointment, telling the Providence Journal he would not rule out switching to the Democratic Party.

Yep So long loser and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Good riddens to bad rubbish.
Geez, they say it like it's a bad thing!
Another in a long list of irrelevant Americans. Let him join the likes of Alec Baldwin, Larry Flynt, Barbra Streisand, Jim Jeffords and PeeWee Herman.
Yah. It was necessary to have him while the margin was so thin, but let's get all this garbage cleared out and know who our friends are NOW.
"Another GOP moderate, Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee (R.I.), expressed even deeper disappointment, telling the Providence Journal he would not rule out switching to the Democratic Party."
Chafee, looking for attention. He'll be a perfect member of the liberal party. Smoke and mirrors.
Adios.
The Republicans should expel him before he can quit. Make an example of him.
Bump. The social conservatives finally came out and voted.
Their voices will no longer be tuned out.
Fine .. go right ahead and jump ship
Chafee's dad has to be rolling in his grave.
Sit down Senator Snowe and shut up....you are just 1 of 55 now.
Great point, you beat me to it!
I hope the other members of the Senate take a good hard look at the Northeast and all the wasted federal aid up here. For example, the Big Dig had an estimated cost of $3.7 billion and we were told it would be completed in 4 years. It's now over $10 billion over cost and 7 years behind schedule. Both the bridge and the tunnel are of substandard construction, the latter is leaking even though it has been open less than a year. The Big Dig is a typical project up here.
It's time to cut off the money flowing to NYC, Boston, Filthadelphia and other corrupt locations where it is used to buy votes.
I’ve said it for a while now, that once we secured a large enough majority in Congress we needed to just throw out of the party the likes of these coat-closet libs, don’t wait for them to switch just toss’em out like the trash they are!
Good flippin riddance!!!
Don't be shocked if we are courting a few demonrats to jump ship to our side. It will surprise the liberals...but I can think of two at least that may come over to our side. Lieberman and that Florida Sen...Nelson ?
Chaffee is a jerk in any case.
The Jim Jeffords of Rhode Island
Hehe, wouldn't that be great! Before he has the chance-he shows up and his money is no good anymore!
