ROVIDENCE, R.I. - Two days after losing a bid for a second term, Sen. Lincoln Chafee (news, bio, voting record) 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,".......
How many times do we have to get teased by these posts? Can he just get booted and speed things up?
Rush said Chafeee was upset that Bill Clinton did not campaigne for him. Enough said.
Don't let the doorknob hit ya!
No Loss.
If you aren't sure whether you are a Republican, you aren't. At least Chafee is getting some clarity about his confusion. Confused people belong in the Democrat party.
Is it just possible that Chafee lost because he is a RINO?
Jeffords and Chafee. With each Democrat victory we lose more RINO senators.
Likely. The Republican Governor of Rhode Island (Carcieri) was re-elected.

In 2005, the Rhode Island legislature passed a bill legalizing medical marijuana. Carcieri vetoed the bill, but the state lawmakers overrode him by a large margin. [3]Governor Carcieri and the Democratic controlled legislature have been at odds on a number of issues enacting separation of powers, the obligations of state workers, and the right of undocumented children to have access to the state childcare health insurance plan. Carcieri often warns against increasing the size of the state's social safety net as unaffordable and unsustainable and that the state suffers economically from a history of corruption. The legislature views Carcieri as attempting to increase the power of the executive to the detriment of the legislature, being overly combative in negotiations, and callous toward the concerns of the poor and the state workers.
Carcieri won re-election in 2006, and has spoken of continuing to take on individuals tied to the "old system."

He**, he never did belong to the Republican Party, it will be a title change only.
Senator, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
