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.

gud !
So now the GOP has one less spy in its senate caucus?
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Lincoln.
Should I (or any one) care what Chafee does? I think Chafee should worry about looking for a job.
He left a long time ago.
LOL! I guess he was paying attention Nov 7.
Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
All I can say is AMF.
Good - Bye bye worthless wimp.
I hope the GOP door smacks him hard in the ass as he leaves.
Rush was saying today along the lines of "no RINO has ever made a difference, or advanced a cause." (my translation)
WOW breaking news!
oh, Chaffee?
never mind.
It's guys like him that gave Republicans bad names.
Too bad he wasn't booted in the primaries though.
That's interesting Linc, 'cause we Pubbies have always been unsure whether you ever were a Republican.
Take a very long walk heading east from where you are in R.I., Chaffed One, and pay no mind to any salt water you might encounter ...
Noooooooo please don't go. How can we make you stay??? You have been so helpful for the past 15 years. Voting with the dums every chance you have. Voting against tax cuts, voting against the military.
How can we live without you.
For the guy that got so upset today, I am being SARCASTIC!!!
Chafee was IN the GOP? Well, I'll be...who knew?
Don't let the door hit , you know the rest.
This is really going to bust our chops Lincee!
