Chafee won support from the Republican establishment An establishment that's becoming increasingly RINO.

How many Dems voted in this bloody contest? That may not be possible in RI.Each state sets it's own rules regarding who can and cannot vote in a primary.Don't know what the rules are in RI.

Most may not like this but Chaffee is probably the best we can do in a state so heavily RAT as Rhode Island.
To: Gay State Conservative
Only people who switched from the Dems to Independent in RI could vote in the primary, I'm from RI, strange turn of events...
To: Aussie Dasher
I seen this RINO in the Bolton hearings, the lights appeared to be on, but no one was home..
To: Mr. Mojo
Oh come on. Laffee or whatever his name is came out from the voting booth and criticized both Pres Bush and Karl Rove. What did he expect?

From what I've read, the rules are remarkably liberal (surprise! Surprise!).
People were swapping back and forth all over the place!

So Republicans AND independents could vote in the Republican primary? If so, and more than a few independents voted, that likely explains Chaffee's win.
To: Aussie Dasher
As pre-election polls predicted, New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton garnered 83 percent of the vote to sweep aside anti-war challenger Jonathan Tasini. So I guess the headline would be "Anti-war candidate loses in a landslide"?

Expect before or after the GOP establishment and the White House knifed him?

Listen I don't care what his feelings were about Pres Bush. He lost because he came out and criticized Pres Bush and Karl Rove from the voting booth.

The choice is Chaffee or a democrat. Not a bad choice when the elder was still living.

I am hoping beyond hope that, if Bolton's nomination is stalled/denied, that GWB simply leaves the seat empty.
Then again, many of my hopes haven't come to pass in the last few years.

That's the way it is in Massachusetts.I think it's also the way it is in RI,but am uncertain.Also,be aware of the fact that a huge percentage of voters in New England are registered as "Independent".I guess it's just another way we express our "individuality"'

It's not like there are any Republicans to vote for up there anyway.
