PROVIDENCE, R.I. U-S Senator Lincoln Chafee is holding a news conference this morning in Providence to announce whether he'll support Samuel Alito for the U-S Supreme Court.

Chafee, a Republican, has said he was concerned about Alito's views on issues such as abortion rights, the separation of church and state and warrantless electronic wiretaps.

Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey, who's challenging Chafee in a primary this year, says he would vote to confirm Alito.

So do you think Chaffee will vote against Alito?

Smells like a "no" vote to me.

Linc is stuck..If he votes against Alito, he'll lose the primary..if he votes for him..he'll lose the general election..either way..we'll be rid of him thank goodness..

Am I really supposed to care what Chaffee thinks?

RE Chaffee, I was looking at the lib ADA rankings (through 2004), and was not surprised that Chaffee's ranking of 55 was almost identical to Ben Nelson's (D Nebraksa) 60.
