Yes he did...he said that he admitted it because "why not?"

He is definitely a naive politician.

He was very naive sounding..and just sounded SO democrat.

I have NO idea why he ever considers himself a Republican, unless his Daddy told him that was what he was...and he is so wimpy he never disagreed.

Another thing that surprised me was his admission that losing the election really bothered him...

One thing that didn't surprise me...he is very proud of not capitulating on Bolton...but, he couldn't give a reason other than he wants the US to rethink it policy re: the Palestinians..

So he stopped short of admitting he is anti-semite as well as not a real Republican?

Of course losing bothered him. He had plans. To jump to the dems, much as Jeffords did, and turn the senate over. No doubt he had promises from Reid! Now he's just a used up old druggie with no purpose or use to anyone.

Yes, his Dad was republican. Chaffee got his seat when Dad died.
