In other words, Rhode Island is hopeless.

I always say when it's a choice between 2 'Rats in the general election, vote for the one whom is actually honest enough to declare himself one.

It's difficult to believe how aggressively the national Republicans attacked a serious conservative, in favor of a RINO like Chaffee.

And now we mack damn sure he will lose. And for the RINO appologists here, I'd rather give the Dems the whole Senate than continue to destroy "Conservatism" in the name of "he can win". At least then the 40some Republicans will find their backbone and vote on issues.

Chafee is a well known name in RI, he's a classic northeastern liberal Repub, he's against the war in Iraq, he voted against the tax cuts, ..., I'd say he has a better then 50/50 chance of winning re-election.

Two Words: Liz Dole.

So we are at a place where Elizabeth Dole and the RNC funded and ran attack ads against a conservative Republican to support a Senator with a ACU rating of 12...which ranks him behind a dozen or so Democratic senators. ...and the party still wants conservatives to turn out and vote for this clown in the general election. If there is a time for conservatives to take a stand and say "never again", it's by throwing Chaffee overboard in the general election.

He won the old fashion way. He got the most votes.

Has anyone seen a story about how the Democrats are the party caving to their "extremists" (Lamont) while the GOP is holding the line toward moderation (Chafee)? Anyone, anyone
Not that I believe that crap, but if you were to extrapolate from all their stories about the restless extremists this year, that would be the inevitable conclusion.

Chafee, gun-shy about the negative ads he knew Dole was referring to If either Chafee or the reporter expects us to believe this asseriton, they're lying losers. Chafee proved that he's quite happy to smear anyone who gets in his way, like the good little Clintonista RINO that he is.
To: A Balrog of Morgoth
That RI is hopeless has been the reality for a long time.
To: Waywardson
If it's Chafee's vote that makes the difference between Republican and Democrat control, he will all but certainly cross the aisle.
Why? it's all about Linc.
To: ElkGroveDan
Naturally, the LSM keeps referring to the "moderate Republican" Chaffee. If he's a moderate, I'm Brad Pitt and believe me, I ain't near that good lookin'.
Of course, since about 98 percent of the media lurks in the neighborhood of Teddy Kennedy on the ideological scale, I suppose to them Chaffee appears moderate. But surely not by much.

Well it proves that RI has very few Republicans. No Republican in his right mind would vote for Chafee.

If they ever can get impeachment out of the House, Chaffee will be the deci Bush from office.ding vote to remove
To: John D
I just moved from RI. I believe the reason Linc won was simple and underreported: He brings home lots of Washington money for infrastructure and he attends every ribbon-cutting ceremony around. Despite his crazy politics, people - even conservatives - vote for him because of this

You would think after supporting Arlen Spector over the conservative candidate two years ago, that they would have learned something.
