Chafee Hints at Obama Endorsement
Real clear poltics ^ | October 15, 2007 | TOM BEVAN

Lincoln Chafee may be out of politics, but he's still making political news. Last month it was reported that Chafee had bolted the Republican party. This weekend on a local talk show in Rhode Island, Chafee ruled out endorsing any likely Republican nominee.

When asked about supporting a Democrat, Chafee hedged, but then added that if he did endorse a Democrat it would not be Hillary Clinton. Chafee said Clinton, and others who voted in favor of the Iraq war were "disqualified" to lead the country. The whole exchange looked like it could very well be a preview of an Obama for President campaign commercial.

Watch the entire exchange below, including Chafee's comment about the flap surrounding Obama not wearing the American flag on his lapel (Note: the clip runs about three minutes and thirteen seconds. Ignore the status bar at the bottom of the video, technical difficulties prevented it from matching the exact length of the clip):

Proving himself the little $hitstain that he is. He demonstrates why we need to stop giving money to the RNC and to the individual candidates. They spent vital $$ to try to reelect this garbage over $$ that should’ve been spent on Burns, Talent & Allen.

This brings to an end, an incredibly tense day when we were all gathered around out the news outlets, anxiously awaiting the much anticipated and highly coveted Chafee endorsement.

This has all the impact of an extra quart of water going over Niagara Falls.

That’s what I was thinking as I saw the title.

Idiots run the RNC! As least if we gave our money to the Democrats, we wouldn’t have to feel betrayed when they gave money to the same kind of people.

First he “bolts” the Republican Party (as I recall, nobody was really aware of it until months afterward) and now this. I guess he’s just a bit lonely down there in the ashbin of history.

Now that Chafee purged his Republican heritage from his system, he must want to prove to the world that he is no longer a Racist Republican.

I hope that he will change his name from “Lincoln” to “Lyndon”.
