Breaux v Chafee

[Ebowed]

Here's an extremely unlikely one for 2008.  I'd vote Breaux, and I wonder if there's a chance that Chafee would lose his homestate.

[opebo]

Chafee is no doubt preferrable on social issues.  He gets my vote, inspite of the nasty bedfellows he has lain with for the last couple of decades.

[Brandon H]

In Louisiana, our Democrats are better than some other states' Republicans. The Democrats need more members like Breaux and Zell Miller. Then I may consider voting for them.

[Sam Spade]

I would obviously vote for Breaux.

But would the 48% of America that voted for Kerry vote for a Republican like Breaux or Miller?

Oh, give it a rest already! Breaux is as much a Democrat as Ted Kennedy is. Breaux just had the sense to realize that emphasizing economic populism over social liberalism--both of them planks of the Democratic Party--would be better for his career as senator from Louisiana

I have to admit he is far superior to Miller.  One wonders, did he merely pretend to be an intolerant for the voters back home but then support social liberalism when voting in Washington?  If so I suppose we must acknowledge his heroic sacrifice.

[Jake]

Breaux easily

[Hitchabrut]

Breaux.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I'd probably vote 3rd party, but if I voted for one of those two, the Iraq war vote would be the tie-breaker, I'd vote for Chafee.

[phk]

I'd vote Chaffee.

[nclib]

I'd vote for Chafee, provided that he didn't have a conservative running mate.

[jokerman]

I'd vote Breaux, definitly.

[7,052,770]

Breaux.  Because at the end of the day, he answers to us and not them.

[opebo]

Good point.  If he were at all a decent choice he would've switched parties many years ago.

well he did staunchly oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment and was the only senator who voted against tougher FCC regulations. And he opposed most of Bush's nutjob judges.

I don't know who I'd vote for. But I'd be happy that we'd get a decent president either way.

[A18]

Bush didn't appoint any nutjob judges.

[they don't love you like i love you]

One said that women should always submit to their husband's decisions, another defended a ban on dildos and sex toys before a federal court.

[A18]

What does that have to do with anything?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Those are very backwards reactionary nutjob positions.

[The Dowager Mod]

Chafee.

[Moooooo]

Easy, Breaux.

[A18]

Those are very backwards reactionary nutjob positions.

Personal opinion has nothing to do with judicial philosophy.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Definately Chafee.

[Ebowed]

Definately Chafee.

Why would you vote for him?
