I'm with you. I'm all for conservative candidates, but it seems to me money is better spent getting conservative republicans into Democratic seats, rather than destroying more liberal republicans already in the congress.
Not that I am a Lincoln Chafee fan (to put it extremely mildly). But yeah. First, let's get the worst of the worst on the other side of the aisle. There is only so much time, money, and other resources to go around.
Yeah, that's better than any RI Dem will ever do, but it isn't worth spending Republican dollars to support him.
