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."

As a matter of fact there was a good choice. The Mayor of Cranston RI ran agains missing linc, in the primaries. My dad still lieves in RIm and said this guy did a terrific job restraining spending and standing up to the public employee's unions in the city. The RNC threw support and bucks to Chaffee and he eeked out a win. Too bad the other guy was unlike missing linc a republican.
Well, well...I'd say this guy is definitely what we call a R.I.N.O...who cares if he changes his party...he's out for now and hopefully will stay out. He's kinda like the dem party...what's the difference in the rat party and the commie party...THE NAME ONLY...
Chafee should be stripped of his committee assignments so Bush can get Bolton confirmed.
Please don't Lincoln. Go with your heart join the Commies.
FR to Chafee: AMF
And the funny thing is...I've heard him say some spot on things.
Good riddance........

The feeling is mutual, Lincoln. Goodbye and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
Hey Linc....found a nice spot just for you.
Why would Chafee start making thoughtful decisions now?
What an ego. The 'friggin loser thinks he has some relevant role to play. Yer out of office, moron.
So if he lost, who the f*** cares who he's with?
Does it really matter?
I like this better:
CHAFEE UNSURE OF STAYING IN THE UNITED STATES AFTER LOSING ELECTION
"Why does anyone think this matters?"
Common foe. Keeps us from beating each other up, lol.
Chafee Go eat some fruit with Jim Webb.
Nope. The Dem just would of won by a larger margin as Chaffe and Laffe split the non Democrat vote. However, if they had run Laffe. Does anyone doubt the Republican turnout been boosted beyond it's pathetic 20% showing?
