Did they have any options?

As a matter of fact there was a good choice. The Mayor of Cranston RI ran agains missing linc, in the primaries. My dad still lieves in RIm and said this guy did a terrific job restraining spending and standing up to the public employee's unions in the city. The RNC threw support and bucks to Chaffee and he eeked out a win. Too bad the other guy was unlike missing linc a republican.

Well, well...I'd say this guy is definitely what we call a R.I.N.O...who cares if he changes his party...he's out for now and hopefully will stay out. He's kinda like the dem party...what's the difference in the rat party and the commie party...THE NAME ONLY...

Lincoln, please don't leave --- at least until I've had a chance to put a footprint on your butt on the way out.

[Argus]

Chafee should be stripped of his committee assignments so Bush can get Bolton confirmed.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Please don't Lincoln. Go with your heart join the Commies.

FR to Chafee: AMF

The guy is mentally lost..............

And the funny thing is...I've heard him say some spot on things.

Good riddance........

Why does anyone think this matters? Chafee is yesterday's news and no Democrat will step aside to give a place to a has-been.

[Political Junkie Too]

If Chafee had won, he would have become one of the most powerful Senators, akin to Jeffords, becuase he would give control of the Senate to Republicans, but threaten to jump at any time.

The feeling is mutual, Lincoln. Goodbye and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

[tflabo]

I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said"

Hey Linc....found a nice spot just for you.

[Stultis]

"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said

Why would Chafee start making thoughtful decisions now?

[Swanks]

What an ego. The 'friggin loser thinks he has some relevant role to play. Yer out of office, moron.

[Lazamataz]

So if he lost, who the f*** cares who he's with?

[truthkeeper]

Does it really matter?

"Why does anyone think this matters?"

Common foe. Keeps us from beating each other up, lol.

[Echo Talon]

Chafee Go eat some fruit with Jim Webb.

If Chafee had lost the GOP primary and then pulled a Lieberman and run as an independent is there anyone who doesn't think he'd be the Senator in January?

Nope. The Dem just would of won by a larger margin as Chaffe and Laffe split the non Democrat vote. However, if they had run Laffe. Does anyone doubt the Republican turnout been boosted beyond it's pathetic 20% showing?
