There are 363 Republicans in Rhode Island? Who knew?
This is good news though. With Chafee out of the way the national GOP wont be wasting any money trying to keep an old patrician blue-blood in the GOP. The GOP has (thankfully) shifted from the New England elitists like Jeffords, Chafee, et al and has moved toward George Allen/ Mel Martinez style of republicanism.
In case you have not noticed, the right wing moonbats on FR do not like Allen or Martinez either. Actually, I don't think they like anyone except tancredo.
