Gov. Lincoln Chafee announced Tuesday outside the state Department of Motor Vehicles

Is it just me, or is that a really weird location for a press conference?

I thought that too.  It's too bad he's not running again.  I always liked him; he was a bit moderate for me, but still a decent guy, and we need more moderate/liberal Republicans.
My feelings exactly.  He became an Independent a few years ago, though, and recently he actually formally became a Democrat.

Despite Rhode Island being very faithful to the Democratic Party in federal elections, Rhode Island is far from a liberal state. Chafee tried to run the state as a liberal and was crucified for it.
They had 16 straight years of GOP governors from 1994-2010, after all.

The only Democratic California governor from the last 70 years not named Edmund Brown got recalled.
