I would say that Pataki is more conservative then Chaffee, that is actually a good comparison. If we have Chaffee in the senate, we certainly could stomach Pataki.
"If we have Chaffee in the senate, we certainly could stomach Pataki."
Of course, Pataki is much less liberal than Chafee, and Chafee is one RINO Senator that I would rather see lose to a Democrat so long as we aren't in danger of losing the Senate. But if Chafee was running against Hillary, I'd all of a sudden think he was Chafee-rific.
Hillary must be defeated in 2006.
