Lincoln Chafee launches presidential exploratory committee

[Angel of Death]

It's great that someone who voted against the Iraq War is running.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Maybe now Zell Miller can run as a Republican.

LOL. He'd get slaughtered in the primary over his endorsement of Michelle Nunn.

[WalterMitty]

i wish he would run as a republican.

[Thunderbird is the word]

Definitely, it'd be funny to see.

[Thunderbird is the word]

Honestly I'd consider supporting him if he positions himself as the most anti-war candidate.

[Sumner 1868]

He did? I guess he's still pretending to be a Democrat.

half-Democrat. He endorsed Nathan Deal for Governor.

I guess he feels indebted to Sam Nunn.

[Vega]

Considering Bernie Sanders hasn't officially jumped in yet, endorsed!

Good guy, would make a good President. Great heir to Obama.

Maybe he can run on that.

[Flake]

[IceSpear]

Wait, this isn't a late April Fools joke?

[Vega]

Wait, this isn't a late April Fools joke?

No, a candidate considering running against the anointed one is not a joke.

[IceSpear]

LMFAO. Yeah, you're right. Chafee is a Very Serious Candidate and I should take him Very Seriously.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Maybe Mike Gravel will run next.

[Skye]

Didn't he have like one of the lowest approval ratings in the country as a governor? I thought that's why he didn't seek re-election last year. And he thinks he can win? Oh well, the more, the merrier.

[The Other Castro]

Hillary was inevitable in 2008 too! And then Obama came out of NOWHERE and defeated her, so you better take him seriously!!1!

Are you trying to give IceSpear an aneurysm?!

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Tough call with Webb also running, but Chafee is better on other issues than Webb.

That approval rating was much lower than it should've been. Anyone elected in RI will face low approval numbers because of how messed up the state is. Chafee also had other things going against him. The first was his plurality win, winning roughly a third of the state. The second was he ran and governed like a liberal and Rhode Island, though we may love Democrats, hates liberals. Third is Rhode Island is so dysfunctional and corrupt that almost anyone elected at the state level will be vilified within a year.

The media also turned him into the Grinch after the whole "holiday tree" thing despite the previous two governors calling it the same thing.

[BaconBacon96]

Well this certainly came out of left field.

lol

I mean, I get that certain people are getting extremely desperate now that both Hillary and Warren have made their intentions clear, but Chafee? He makes O'Malley look like a formidable juggernaut.

I wasn't serious but I think you've noticed that Of course Hillary will be the nominee.

I know, I was talking in general, not to you.

[Lincoln Republican]

As a Republican, I would very much like to see Chafee as the Dem nominee.

[Ebsy]

Don't hold your breath.

[Mr. Morden]

Chafee wastes no time going after Clinton:
