Keeping Chafee is not about his vote, it is about committee leaderships. We can either have him and have them, or not.

Unfortunately (for you), should the Republicans lose because sufficient dissatisfied Repubs voted against incumbents, it may be you that's drawn and quartered here on FR.

The election is much more than individuals or their politics. What's important this year is defending congress against DEMOCRAT takeover. Sorry, I dislike Chafee as much as anyone. But if it means retaining him to insure a Republican congress then so be it.

I don't necessarily disagree with you in one sense, but the problem is that so does Whitehouse.

I have no problem voting for the lesser of two evils, but it's complicated when they are both equally evil.

I 'guess' I'd still vote for Chafee, because he votes against filibusters and votes for Maj.Leader (probably). But if we end up with more then 50 seats, I might regret it.

Then do it in the primaries -- don't risk giving the republicans charge of all that goes on in the Senate in order to teach the Republicans a lesson.

ANYONE who should know better, yet stays home and helps the democrats take over, is an enemy of this country, the troops, and the future of the US...period
