Maybe you can answer this for me. No one else has even tried.
If RI is so liberal and so heavily democrat, why have they been electing a Republican for years? Granted, he is a liberal pubbie, but he is a pubbie. Why?
Could it be that the people want a real republican, but the GOP keeps getting in the way and propping up Chafee?
Although I'm not all that familiar with RI politics,I believe that the name Chaffee has long been a familiar one in the state.I suspect that that's part of it.Also,Chaffee is about as far from being a Republican as one can be,despite what he puts next to his name on election day.
Just look at the voting record of RI in Presidential elections.Apart from DC,I think RI gives democRAT nominees a bigger margin of victory than any other state.
Chaffee keeps getting elected because they like his dad.
Maybe you would like to explain why conservative Blackwell is running 25 points behind "rino" Dewine ?
I say the conservative idiots have not made their case to the american people and look like whiney losers when they say "why oh why do the idiot american people keep electing rinos"
The answers would be NO/ NO/ NO. Little Rhodies are their own breed.. just like Brown Eggs. They will NEVER vote R, but they will switch if they feel insecure. HUGE UNION STATE..you haven't a safe job unless you work for the GOV//STATE//UNION.
They are incredibly kind folks who try to do the best that they can. Grew up on the teat.
