Only an AP writer would consider Chafee "moderate."

Let's hope it was liberal precincts reporting early.

They did pass up a chance to call Chaffee a "maverick" like I've seen so much lately.
But they just couldn't resist the now obligatory reference to Steele as "if he won - would be the lone black Republican in the Senate. "
That is the third time I've seen that exact phrase in different stories today

With 3 percent of precincts reporting, Chafee had 2,735 votes, or 55 percent, to Cranston Mayor Steve Laffey's 2,241 votes, or 45 percent.That God it's only 3%. Hopefully he will come on strong.

National GOP leaders angered Republican candidates when they jumped into the race to support state Rep. Steve Huffman, a moderate who in a recent poll was trailing a former state lawmaker, Randy Graf.
Party officials have expressed concerns Graf may be too conservative to win the seat in November.
They did this with Chaffee. They did this with our favorite scottish lawyer. I'm thinking its time to start throwing RINOs overboard in the general election, or we'll never see change at the RNC, which is what apparently needs to happen.

That's so misleading to say Chafee leads when 3% of the vote is in.

He's left of a number of Senate Democrats...

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Well, the Democrats have one "lone" black Senator, and if Steele was elected that would still be only two overall. The GOP would have 50% of the black Senators, to look at it differently.
To: therut
There is NOTHING Republician about him. He votes to organize the Senate with the Republicans.
He votes for cloture of Democrat filibusters.
That is much better than any Democrat from Rhode Island would do.

ACU rating of 12 = solid liberal.
Moderate would be for someone around at least 40.
To: Heartofsong83
The ACU ratings for 2005 are enlightening.

Based on ACU ratings, the following are well to the right of Chafee and in moderate territory:
Landrieu (44)
Ben Nelson (60)
The following, while still clearly at least leaning liberal, are still quite a bit to the right of Chafee:
Baucus (24)
Bayh (20)
Byrd (20)
Conrad (21)
Bill Nelson (20)
Pryor (24)
Salazar (32)
