Probably the most national media exposure Chafee's ever gotten:

If the beginning of the clip doesn't interest you, skip ahead to the ~3 minute mark, to hear Chafee's new campaign theme song.

That was great. It would be hilarious if he actually embraced it.

That was great.

Y'know, stoners should try to support Chafee just to get people talking about drug decriminalization.

Chafee is actually one of the better candidates.

The fact that he has zero dinero is an issue.

What if Warren Buffet gave him 100 million dollars?

And why would Buffet do so?

It's too bad that Chafee is doing as badly as he is. Honestly I think he could have filled a niche as a sort of left-libertarian anti-war candidate and picked off some independents as well as a few dejected Rand Paul supporters. Seems like he doesn't take fundraising seriously because I could see someone like Pierre Omidyar bankrolling his candidacy if he tried appealing to him. He really could and should do better then he is. I say this as a strong Bernie supporter.

Also the fact that the messenger himself is, well, not so good at communication.

Yes, this is his problem. I kind of like his message, but Lincoln Chafee is just so... Lincoln Chafee. He really was not meant for national politics, which is kind of why I like him even more.

As a Chafee supporter I found this hilarious and sad.
