Some of the conservative leaders should be able to take young Tom Kean, Jr. out to the woodshed (if he wins) for a bit of discussion. He is a kid who would benefit from some gentle positive persuasion.

BTW, how is Chaffee doing? The most troubling thing about him IMO is that he's publicly toyed with the idea of switching parties. When I heard Schumer on one the Sunday shows saying Dems have to win that seat, I got the weird feeling that it was a don't throw me in that briar patch moment . . . it wouldn't surprise me if Chaffee had a deal with the Dems to switch in case of a 50-50 senate.
To clarify -- I can't help suspecting Schumer was so insistent on the importance of that seat to Dems, so the Reps will spend lavishly on it, though the Dems will have Chaffee as an "ace in the hole," so to speak.
