PROVIDENCE, R.I. --Two days after losing a bid for a second term in an election seen as a referendum on President Bush and the Republican Party, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he'd remain a Republican.
"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said at a news conference when asked whether he would stick with the Republican Party or switch to be an independent or Democrat.
When asked if his comments meant he thought he might not belong in the Republican Party, he replied: "That's fair."
Chafee, 53, is the most liberal Republican in the Senate and was the sole Senate Republican to vote against the war in Iraq. That was not enough to save his seat against the winner, Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, who shared many of Chafee's views but was a member of the dominant party in a state where Democrats far outnumber Republicans.
When asked whether he felt that his loss may have helped the country by switching control of power in Congress, he replied: "To be honest, yes."

B.S.! Maybe not as liberal, but just as much a rino prick against many conservative principles and especially when the repubs needed him to do the right thing, he cared more about HIS ambition than the country's. McPainintheass, may he be the next to go!
What a joke! I'm sorry the "R" seat was lost but Chaffee got what he deserved. He claimed to be an "R" but mostly acted with the Dims. See what he got for "kissing up" to the Dims....nada. He gave no loyalty and he got no loyalty.
Buh-bye, Lincoln-the-Weasel, don't let the door hit you on the way out!!
Hit the road, Chaf, Don't you come back no mo, no mo, no mo, no mo, Hit the road Chaf, Doncha come back no more...
What difference does it make?
What difference does it make?
As I said before, I'm sorry we lost the Senate, but it's probably just as well we didn't have to count on him being the deciding vote, because he was halfway gone in better times anyway.
Now? He's out. Like the guy said in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", I could care less if he comes, stays, lays or prays.
No loss here wahhh!
Don't let the door hit you where the Lord split you!
Dog Catcher?
What the heck difference does it make? He did not get re-elected.
Sounds like Linc took the same correspondence course in "political hand biting" that Jim Jeffords took. Think of the First Lady wasting her time campaigning for this 53 yr old metrosexual brat.
leave hell... throw his friggin azz OUT!!! the Family er the Party should settle ALL Business here and NOW, once and for all... get rid of the RINO's.
I seem to recall being told we HAVE to support Chafee, that he would never pull a Jeffords on us...
To those people I say..GROW UP.
Time you lived in the real world and acknowledged the real characters of these people.
To Chafee I say good riddance. To Senator Dole I state Thank you. For screwing your base and further alienating us all on behalf of this jumper. Worked at REAL well you, huh?
Agreed, but supporting Lafee over Chafee would have stuck to principle. Support for Chafee added to the (correct) impression that Republicans this year were more interested in holding on to power than in doing the right thing. That hurt us in other races, including the ones you mention.
Sadly, there's going to have to be plenty more RINO bloodletting before the party is purged. John McCain, Chuck Hagel, the Lenin Sisters from Maine (Snowe and Collins), Arlen Specter, Lindsay Graham, ... just to name a few.
