An independent run by Linc Chafee would have real traction in RI, but only if he promised to caucus with the Dems. He could potentially beat Whitehouse under those circumstances. If Reed were tapped for a cabinet post in a Democratic administration, he could also take that seat.
This scenario has a lot of ifs though - if Reed leaves or Whitehouse can't win re-election, if Chafee decides to run for Senate again, if he runs as an independent and if he promises to caucus with the Dems. Nevertheless, it could happen.
