The Republican senator says he could not vote for President Bush because he disagrees with him on several issues.
Sen. Lincoln Chafee made good on his pledge yesterday: As a form of "symbolic protest," he cast a write-in ballot for former President George H.W. Bush instead of voting for his son, President George W. Bush. He also did not rule out the prospect of changing parties if the incumbent president is reelected.

Isn't it about time this Pampered Pansy got himself one of the War Hero's pink ties and just signed up as a Heinz-Ketchup staffer?
If he changed parties, would anyone notice?
He's not going anywhere unless he can pull a Jeffords.
Your prototype RINO. Lincoln my boy, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE GOP AND CROSS OVER WHERE YOU BELONG. Jerk.
He'd switch parties if Barney Frank would date him.
Before you all crap all over him, consider that his state just voted 60% to 40% for Kerry. Being a Bushbot is a sure path to defeat.
No Republican other than a RINO is viable in that state.
If he's going to jump ship, I'm going to demand (even though it won't do any good) that the idiot pay back the money he "stole" from the RNC and the Republican Senate re-election campaigns. And then it's GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!
What an idiot. He considers an election in which he cast one vote (and a dopey one at that) to be a mandate to switch parties. Bush won, but if Kerry won Chafee would have statyed a republican? The logic of this is .....?
So you think his infantile actions in a democrat controlled state helps the GOP?
Good riddance, punk!
"The logic of this is .....?"
Temper tantrum.
Guess he wants to switch so the minority Democrats can give him a really good committee assignments.
Don't let the door hit him in the a$$!
btw, check out the "values thing" of this election, you obviously don't get it.
Do you mean a "Heinz-Ketchup stuffer"?
Let him go. Let New England companies and all tourism suffer from all of us. Kerry and his clowns really dissed us Americans and our values. As a former New Englander who left over 40 years ago, I said good riddence to them long ago. I spent many years in the military in the south and truly love people there and their values. We must not give up the effort. I'd be in favor of all of us pooling together and help out and give special assistance to the GOP and volunteers in key states to insure we all stay united, time and time again.
How very Democratish of him. Symbolism over substance.
I wish this pos would just get it over with.
As Robbie Burns would say of Chafee and like-minded New Englanders:
Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie....
"[Chafee] also did not rule out the prospect of changing parties if the incumbent president is reelected."
