So you are telling me that we should basically say "hey, the Dems can't win the senate, so let's toss Chaffee and give up on Kean Jr. Don't worry, it'll be OK, the Dems can't win the senate, we're sure of it".

no thanks, we can keep the RI seat and get a pickup in NJ - why shouldn't we try?

I'm all for firing up the base. But in states like RI and NJ, that base can't elect anyone in a statewide race.

Kean Jr. said that Rummy should go. I don't think we need senators like that.
