{I will take Lincoln Chafee over Ted Kennedy}

There isn't much difference between these two gentlemen. Lincoln Chafee's voting record is a lot more liberal than some fellow Democrats in Congress. In fact in the 2000 election, Chafee's opponent, Robert Weygand, was a pro-life Democrat. I would be very surprised if Chafee runs for re-election in 2006 as a Republican. I suspect Chafee is waiting for the right moment to switch parties. Back in 2001, he hinted that he would consider following Jim Jeffords's lead if he was unhappy with President Bush. Thus, it is only a matter of time before Lincoln Chafee comes out of the closet as a Democrat or Independent-Aligning Democrat.

I'll take the Republican over the Democrat if it means that the Republican Caucus holds the majority.
