Excellent question. I'd challenge all these people who gripe about RINOs to donate to Laffee if they really feel this guy is an improvement. If you want to send a message to the GOP, tell them that you are giving to people who oppose RINOs... or we can just BashBush which would be completely different from what the Democrats do because they BushBash.

It's typical politics. If you don't like what the RNC is doing, don't give it any money.

If a republican candidate who was a better than Chaffee were to run and he was almost a guarantee to keep the senate seat in republican hands, then I'm sure that the Senarotial Committee would run with the new candidate.

But, running with a RINO, who is almost a guarantee, is better than risking losing the seat to a democrat. It's just a matter of the numbers. If the republicans retain control of the Senate, even with the RINOs, then that's all that mattters at the present. The simple majority sets the agenda. (Although lately it seems that the democrats are in control).
