If Chafee loses, what happens to his committee seat (I believe he is in the judicial committee and has been holding up John BOlden for renomination to the UN as our ambassador?) WHO would take his seat - another republican or the guy who would beat him in RI?
What could this moron be thinking?
Committee assignments are up to the parties' leaders in the next Congress. That a senator continues on the same committees is not guaranteed.
The split between the parties is roughly proportional. So, unless control flips to the Dems. the committe will likely have the same number of Republicans as before.
