Ray .. I am very principled .. but I'm also not stupid
One battle at a time
I don't think that I ever implied or said that you were, but since you can only vote for (or against) one senator at a time, a principled vote is intelligent and easy. As you point out, losing Chafee will not lose the Senate. Remember, they need to win everyone of their seats and we must lose 6 of ours for the power to shift.
76% of FReepers don't believe that we will lose either house according to the current poll. Why does it seem that within these threads it seems that 76% think that we'll lose both?
