The best bet to replace Chafee is to defeat him in the primary...
I dont have a vote in this election (I'm in California), I do have some money to help defeat Chafee... I've given money to Steve Laffey's campaign (money I saved by not giving to the RNC or RSNC this year).

Ah, I was just about to post that link. Now I don't have to, thanks.
Vote Laffey or contribute to Laffey if you cannot vote. Send a signal to RINO's that there is a point even they cannot be forgiven.
BTW, somewhat in keeping with the social conservative aspect of the story....Remember the vote to ban abortion in South Dakota everyone was buzzing about a few months ago?

"It was a given that anti-abortion forces won the headline victories, with Republican voters defeating four of their own senators - all who opposed the abortion ban HB1215."
Looks like a repeat of the Penn primaries when they ousted their legislators over the pay raise. These voters ousted the legislators that didn't vote for the ban. Yeah, I know not everyone is a social conservative on the board, but Republicans in S.D. are overwhelmingly so. Their legislators defied them, and they paid the price.
I'd state it's official. The Conservative crackdown is in full swing and RINO's are losing more representatives then they are winning. Even Arnold lost his preferred candidate in the primaries in Cali. Getting Chafee's head, though, would be a real coup.
I've never contributed to the DNC, there were always better candidates (Helms, Reagan, Hatch, Laxalt) and there are (Hunter, Van Taylor, John Kline) today.

Absolutely, right on!
It is exactly what I have been advocating (and practicing) for all of our frustrated Conservative brothers and sisters.
We don't have to sit out this upcoming election and we CAN retain control of Congress, while at the same time, work toward the replacement of RINOS with other "right-thinking" Republicans who are true conservatives.
Rhode Islander here - I fully plan on voting for Laffey in the primary. To be honest, I've got a few reservations about Laffey, but I'm thinking of it not as voting for him, but voting against Chafee.
If Laffey loses the primary (which unfortunately is more likely than not), I'll be writing in the Pope on the ballot.
