Laffey’s efforts to link Chafee with the extremely unpopular President Bush also appear to be paying off,” said Profughi.

Someone explain this to me. Chafee rarely supports Bush. Is Laffey saying he'd support Bush even less?

No, the commentator who wrote the 'analysis' part of this is just copying and pasting MSM spin on a word processor. There are Democrats who are more supportive of GWB's policies than Lincoln Chaffage.

It doesn't really matter ... the chances of getting a real conservative elected up there is very slim

But I sure will enjoy seeing Chafee get his fat rear kicked to the curb

I've been following him for awhile and don't recall hearing/seeing anything about his support, or lack thereof, for Bush in the WoT.

As far as him being a conservative, he's a libertarian-esque fiscal conservative. I'm not sure about the social issues. He's also big on renewable energy but not a watermelon at all. For the NE voters he would really be as good as we could hope for and, IMHO, a sign of what type of Republican can win up there. Hopefully the country club Republicans in RI will rally around him if he beats their boy in the primary.

How can anyone support him less? Chaffee didn't even vote for Bush in the last election and was proud to say so.

No, Laffey supports Bush on most issues. Laffey is trying to
sell him self as a populist change agent by associating Chafee with the "status quo" in Washington.

I watched their debate on C-span a few days ago and NO THAT IS NOT SO> Chafee sounded like a SOCIALIST talking about everything. HE MAKES ME ILL>
