Chafee will pull a Lieberman, and run as an independant just to screw the party.

Screwing the party is what he does best.

I was thinking the same thing.

It's too late for him to run as an independent, but if it was possible it would be the best thing that could possibly happen to us. In a two-man race, Laffey will be the underdog against Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in November (as would Chafee if he manages to win the GOP primary), but if Chafee ran as an independent he would split the liberal vote with Whitehouse and Laffey would be elected to the Senate with 38%.

I can see the conservative idiots are out today.

Unlike lamont, laffey has no chance at winning and unlike lieberman, chaffee has no chance of winning as an independent

Chaffee will not pull a lieberman and a RI loss puts the dems 1/6 the way to controlling the senate and all the judicial appointments that will follow.

Chafee will pull a Lieberman, and run as an independant just to screw the party.

In this case, he will help the party.

Can't the Independent Filing Deadline in RI has already past, unlike in CT where it was a week after the primary.

Chafee would probably pull more dimwit votes than Republican. What Republican would ever vote for him if they had any other choice?

It may not screw the party. RI will have to choose between 1 conservative and 2 libs. It may be Laffey's only hope to squeak thru with a 35%-40% vote.
