BTW, East Saint Louis, IL, has a Black Democrat Mayor who endorsed Bush in '04. Not a stupid man.
I am a New Englander who shares your opinion of Chafee. Unfortunately, Chafee is the ONLY kind of Republican who can come out of Rhode Island, probably the most Democrat state in the Union. I would take that bucket of warm spit (Chafee) in a 50-50 Senate, with Cheney voting to break the deadlock, rather than losing the Senate because Chafee lost his seat. I hate it when politics trumps substance but losing power to the Dems is a worse fate.
Make this your tagline! (nice call)
"East Saint Louis, IL, has a Black Democrat Mayor who endorsed Bush in '04."
I don't expect that it will help his reelection prospects.
You wouldn't think, but it might not matter at all. Carl Officer ran the city for awhile before he made a comeback, so he might be reelected when he's next up (next year).
You don't think DeWine in Ohio is endangered?
Nope. Standard old Dem polls that always show the Dem ahead until the end.
