We have believed for so long that a conservative can't win this race or that because it's (fill in the blank) . Didn't Reagan win Rhode Island? He won 49 of the 50 states running as a conservative. Doesn't that tell you anything?
Let's run a conservative and support him. We really don't have anything to lose but there is a whole lot to gain.

Ah President Reagan was awesome! ok now that i got that out of my system - unfortunately the nation has changed since then. How else could Kerry have gotten 48% of the vote. Dont get me wrong i would take Laffey over Chafee any day (i would take a rock over Chafee anyday) i was just attempting to explain the rational as to why the GOP is rallying around Chafee. I in no way meant that there should not be a primary or that everyone should back Chafee. And yes Chafee said he voted for Bush's father - what a putz.
