It was the vote against Alito that may have sealed Chaffee's fate, regardless. The sizable Italian population in Rhode Island was very upset over Chaffee's vote.
Even if Chaffee wins the Republican primary, he would likely be a dead duck in November anyway. (Not much difference between Chaffee and the Dem candidate, and a reason to vote against Chaffee due to his vote on Alito.)
Based on this I would argue that Laffey just may give Republicans a better chance of winning in November.

Please be sure to post the results of the general election on this site...and make sure you include all the reasons that it is better to have a Democrat than Chaffee in this seat.
If you think Laffey will win in RI, you are only fooling yourself. Unfortunately, your shortsightedness may turn out to have horrible consequences to our country.
