I absolutely want Laffey to win.
But IIRC not only Republicans can participate in the primary. If you are a registered voter but not identified as any party, you can select the primary in which you vote and then unenroll again after you've cast your primary vote.
:(
I still can't envision a sampling from any group supporting this nitwit Chaffee after having voted against Alito.
I mean, think of all the Italo-Americans in that state!
I never understood why so many Italians voted for Democrats like Sal Albanese and Frank Barbaro, but I can't see them voting for a bleeding-heart liberal, aloof, half-witted WASP who despises them.
Maybe I'm investing too much hope in Rhode Islanders.
