RI Poll: Langverin leads Chafee, Chafee leads Brown.

[Keystone Phil]

Chafee is going to become a Democrat before the primary or just not seek re-election.

[Keystone Phil]

Chafee has his re-election web site up... McConnell did a fundraiser for him.

Losing Linc would be a terrible day for my Party and the nation.  Democrats are such scum.  Why can't you "people" make yourselves useful and start attacking extremists instead.

And what happens if Chafee wants to make sure he wins re-election and becomes a Dem (I think that's what will happen)? Still a loss for our party?

[Keystone Phil]

Technically, yes, that would be a loss for the party.  Of one vote to be exact

Funny. What I meant was would you see it as losing a great, valuable member?

[Keystone Phil]

Yes, I would.  Defecting to the enemy is a stupid thing to do.

Chafee voting with "the enemy" most of the time isn't stupid?

I'm sure I'd prefer him over other RI Dems but I'll be honest that if he retires or gets beat, I won't miss him.

By the way, I wish Carceri would run but that's unlikely.
