Chaffee's loss is due solely to the Bush Hatred vote.
Foley lost. Great idea not exposing him as a homo 16 year old kid lover months ago, Republican leadership!
No. Chafee's loss is because many conservatives were fed up with him. I voted for the conservative in my local mayoral election knowing darned right well, it would split the vote and the idiot Dem would win. I would never do that in a state or national election, but many here did.
