Linc Chafee is an idiot. This will be a huge battle in RI. Look for Mayor Steve Laffey (a true conservative) to take him on in the primary or general election if need be.

Laffey could beat him with one hand tied behind his back. Republican and Democratic voters love him. He is doing a great job in Cranston. He has a lot of guts. He has been pushed around, threatend by union thugs, faced the teachers unions etc. He doesn't back down. Go Laffey

Not many realize that Chafee wrote-in Bush the Elder for President this year. He seemed quite proud of this fact. In truth he is an embarrassment to all of us here in Rhode Island.

Please:
Tell us more!

What's Laffey's background? How experienced? Can he raise money?

And most importantly: What exactly constitutes "conservative" by RI standards?
