Chaffee and Ford losing last Tuesday gave me my only smiles that night.

Let's say there are 1000 voters.

500 are democrats
500 are republicans

If voter turnout was 40%, that means 400 out of the 1000 voted. Which means 200 of each party roughly. 200 / 500 = 40% of Republicans voted, and 200 / 500 = 40% of democrats. Don't quit your day job.

[rb22982]

Yes, its 20% EACH but that doesn't mean 20% of REPUBLICANS that could vote, voted. 40% of republicans that could vote, voted.

[gogogodzilla]

Got that right.

He's got a bright future as a spork weasle rancher.

[jackieaxe]

My thoughts exactly. I'm in NH and we lost Charlie Bass and Jeb Bradley, not perfect Repubs but far from the RINO that is/was Chaffee. I think the 6 million wasted on Chaffee could have been better spent.

WHY DID GOP WASTE ONE DIME ON CHAFEE?

Because they cared far more about hanging on to power than advancing a principled, conservative agenda.

[antiunion person]

Idiots like Chaffed can do alot of damage in a short amount of time.

[Arizona Carolyn]

He'll probably become a lobbiest.

I didn't miss the lack of help from either Senator. Sanatorium suffered from supporting and campaigning for Specter over Toomey and this is the thanks he received.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Graham is up in '08 -- kick him out in the primary.. start now. McCain is running for President, but his term in Senate runs four more years. Run Allen again Warner in the VA primary.

[LC HOGHEAD]

Any wonder why the Republican party got its head cut off?

We are not finished yet cleaning house!

Spector, Graham, McCain, and a few other RINO's need to get booted too, right along with the liberal socialist Chafee

Bush doesn't owe the conservatives squat.

If he'd act like a conservative, and if congress acted conservative, they wouldn't have gotten their rear ends handed to them.

I never was of the opinion, before the election, that we should toss out the R's 'just to teach them a lesson'. However, now that they are tossed...I hope they're getting it loud and clear.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I would suggest he resign just before the next recess and then Bush can give him another recess appointment.

[advertising guy]

300 posts so this comment will fall by the by BUT,........we need to scream Chaffee's name all over the media to send a signal to like minded RINOS we ain't taking it.

[Phantom Lord]

Chafee got the boot by the voters. He is gone come Jan.

He even wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal or NY Times (can't remember which) complaining about losing and blaming the voters. It was funny and yet sad to read. But exemplified the liberal elite attitude toward their entitlement to positions of power.
