Before you start commenting, guys, remember that Rhode Island had 16 straight years of GOP governors before Chafee became governor.  I mourn this loss more than just about any Republican; if it weren't for the ideological purity hacks (including the Tea Partiers), then he might still be a Republican today.

RI had republican Governors when republicans were able to win in New England. I think Mississippi and Arkansas have also had 16 straight years of Dem. Governors.

Mississippi and Arkansas had about 100 straight years of Dem governors after Reconstruction.

I know. And that doesn't mean they have a chance today. The same happens in RI, republicans can win 3-way races with some luck. But they couldn't even defeat Ciciline.
