Only an AP writer would consider Chafee "moderate."

Let's hope it was liberal precincts reporting early.

With 3 percent of precincts reporting, Chafee had 2,735 votes, or 55 percent, to Cranston Mayor Steve Laffey's 2,241 votes, or 45 percent.That God it's only 3%. Hopefully he will come on strong.

National GOP leaders angered Republican candidates when they jumped into the race to support state Rep. Steve Huffman, a moderate who in a recent poll was trailing a former state lawmaker, Randy Graf.
Party officials have expressed concerns Graf may be too conservative to win the seat in November.
They did this with Chaffee. They did this with our favorite scottish lawyer. I'm thinking its time to start throwing RINOs overboard in the general election, or we'll never see change at the RNC, which is what apparently needs to happen.

That's so misleading to say Chafee leads when 3% of the vote is in.

There's a pattern here.
In RI, the national Republican party has supported Democrat Chaffee with tons of money and a barrage of really slimy attack ads in print, radio and TV.
In AZ-8, the national party has supported a quasi-Democrat in the primary. It's all about who they will be more comfortable having in the Club, lining his and his relativess' pockets with your tax dollars.
Frankly, every defeat for an incumbent is a win for America, in this corrupt Congress. I am still throwing Republican fund-raising solicitations in the trash -- by putting their thumb on the primary scales where it doesn't belong, they lost me.
Follow Chaffee vs. Laffey here:

With 72% of precincts in, it looks like Chaffee, with help from a lot of people who didn't vote in any other race (compare the race totals), has eked out a win.
Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI, will be the new senator. The Dems are up one of the six they need.
