Well, this guy is certainly not much to crow about, but I'm sure we could do much better in solid-blue Rhode Island...

Senator Lincoln Chafee (R)
Rhode Island
Republican, Years of Service: 4

ACU Ratings for Senator Chafee:
Year 2003 35
Year 2002 53
Lifetime 44

On the other hand, the other Senator from the state, Jack Reed, has a lifetime ACU rating of 9% so I suppose it could be worse.

For comparison, here are three of the other worst RINOS in the Senate:

Senator Olympia Snowe (R)
Maine
Republican, Years of Service: 25

ACU Ratings for Senator Snowe:
Year 2003 35
Year 2002 65
Lifetime 51

Senator Susan Collins (R)
Maine
Republican, Years of Service: 7

ACU Ratings for Senator Collins:
Year 2003 45
Year 2002 55
Lifetime 56

There is not much sense complaining about Chaffee when we put up the likes of Specter, who has just as poor a record as Chaffee, and over a lot longer period of time, although in fairness, he seems to be voting more conservatively lately...

Senator Arlen Specter (R)
Pennsylvania
Republican, Years of Service: 23

ACU Ratings for Senator Specter:
Year 2003 65
Year 2002 50
Lifetime 43

The GOP needs to keep all these RINOs out of critical committee chairmanships if they want to keep their ball rolling. These RINOs probably see it is not in their best interests to jump ship and end up completely rejected and marginalized like Jeffords.

Rhode Island is such a Dem state, Chafee is about the best we can expect. His ACU rating is much better than any Dem would ever be from that (politically) detestable little state.

Its abbreviation, RI, is after all, the first two letters of RINO.
