The side thing is, my Freeper friend, he's about the most Conservative Republican that would ever get elected in his state these days.....
sigh......
Isn't there a popular governor or lt. governor who would be a better GOP candidate than Chafee? I think someone from Rhode Island was mentioned as a possible opponent. I sure hope that person runs. If not, I don't care who wins the next time.
I know the feeling. Hillary and Schumer reflect the political leaning of most voters in NY.
Chaffee is as liberal as Dodd. The only thing that keeps him from switching is the example of Jeffords. Traitors command no respect even frpom the side they switch to.
The thing that gets me about Chafee, though, is that while he is a de facto Democrat because he is from a hard-core Democrat state and everybody simply seems to accept this, Democrats from hard-core Republican states like the Dakotas blithely slip along as the most obnoxious liberals they can be. What gives?
His state has only four electoral college votes. We should give this state to the dems and go after one of their bigger states.
