Two days after losing a bid for a second term, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he would remain a Republican.
Chafee lost to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in a race seen as a referendum on President Bush and the GOP. On Thursday, he was asked whether he would stick with the Republican Party or become an independent or Democrat.
"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said at a news conference. When pressed on whether his comments indicated he might leave the GOP, he replied: "That's fair."
Chafee, 53, is a lifelong Republican who has represented Rhode Island for seven years. His father held the same seat for 23 years before that.

"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is So the gentleman is still searching for his place and he is 53 years old. This is not an encouraging sign, the good people of RI and the Republican party are well rid of this piece of flotsam.

I'd say NOBODY, neither liberal nor conservative -- except maybe his widowed mother -- cares one whit.
> I think Chafee should worry about looking for a job. <
Oh, I should think he'll do OK. Wasn't he a horse trainer or ferrier right up until he was appointed to the U.S. Senate?
(Pretty good money in those trades!)

This was one of those seats that weren't a loss. Chaffee would have probably been more harmful as a win than a loss.
