I saw both chaffee and laffey on "this week with george s."
They both did well, both were intelligent, articulate and honest.
Either one will represent RI well.
Today's reason to dump Chafee will astonish you. So far this year, the Senate has had 230 roll call votes. How did Senator Chafee vote? (Source PDF)Given how much I want to defeat Nelson, you really can't expect me to want Chafee back in the Senate either. The man is personally weird. Among other things, in 2004, he voted for George Bush Senior.
Lincoln Chafee voted with Hillary Clinton 71% of the time and with Ted Kennedy almost 72%!
How does that compare to Senator Ben Nelson, who is arguably considered the Senate's most conservative Democrat? Nelson voted with Clinton only 59% of the time and with Kennedy 54%.
BOTTOM LINE: These numbers don't make Chafee a self-described "moderate". They make him a full-blown liberal.
