He’ll make the announcement in a speech he’s scheduled to deliver next Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at the George Mason Center for Politics & Foreign Relations in Arlington, Virginia. Following the announcement, Chafee will travel to New Hampshire on June 4 for a previously scheduled event with local Democrats in Grafton County.

Great! We will definitely need more comic relief in the coming primary season.

Yeah, looks like we need a dozen candidates to split that huge Huntsman vote from 2012.

In normal times, the basis of a good laugh, but now that the country has proven it’s willing to put any moron in the White House, not so sure . . .

Me!

But that may change as soon as I can find some Anti American group I can Ho myself out to for MegaBucks.

It’s either that or I create a Global Inititive where I can bilk 85% of the Donations to help feed and rebuild areas of Destruction for personal gain. Because this working for a Living just isn’t what it used to be.

Chaffee is what we used to call a ‘wedge’. That’s engineer-speak for ‘a simple tool’.

It must appear to the Dems that Hillary is vulnerable.

This guy don't know which way he's swinging. He'll probably run as a Repubacrat.

>> He’s counting on low-info voters to respond to seeing “Lincoln” on the ballot...

If that’s the case, it might be a good idea for Mr. Lincoln to avoid theaters and actors “until further notice”.

At least Paulsen’s campaigns were funny.

If that is the case then I hope he runs as a democrat. That will be interesting to see him, Hillary and Sid Blumenthal battle it out for the nomination.

Chafee is married though, with three kids, so it seems that limp justly refers more to his politics than his sexuality.

Speaking of running in the Democrat Primaries, has anybody asked that Vermont INDEPENDENT Senator, Bernie Sanders, why he isn't seeking the Independent Party nomination instead of interfering with the Democrats?

Chafee will run as a moderate Democrat and tout his former RINO credentials as proof that he can work across the aisle. If he gains traction with the the Democrats main constituency (The MSM), he has a chance to beat Hillary and Bernie, if another ex-RINO (Jim Webb) doesn’t run.

The voters will love that “I am just about to cry” look on Chafee’s face. He is such a sensitive man!

Webb is a Democrat though he served as Sec. of the Navy under Reagan so he couldn’t actually be a RINO....
