Chafee was on the local radio today - he said Frist came to him to extend a hand of friendship; Chafee says he's not leaving because he needs help in his re-election bid. A popular local mayor - Lafey of Cranston - is rumored to be considering tahking Chafee on in a republican primary. Add a popular republican governor to the mix and you can see why Linc is scared
I hope the "powers-that-be" have learned the lesson from helping Specter get reelected and refuse to fund this guy or endorse him.
Let a real Republican have a chance at the spot.
