a great day!

November 7, 2006 - Senator-elect Whitehouse

I am not saying that that will make November 7th great. I am just showing Walter that his "great day" will not reoccur.

This primary just cost the DSCC $5 million.

Chafee might win this thing by double digits.  It's definitely over now.  Laffey would have to get 59.8% of the vote in the remaining precincts to catch up, and that ain't happening.

Warwick's not in yet. This race is OVER.

I seriously underestimated the RNC's 72 hour taskforce.

And it'll cost us a pickup in Tennessee or Missouri.

Warwick's coming last. I thought Laffey had "hit all his targets."

I admire you for that, Walter, but you are not like most others. Many RINOs don't give a damn or want Santorum to go down.

Sort of sounds like Kerry in 2004.  But not to bring up bad memories.

Or good, as the case may be.

GO CHAFEE!

Finally the Republicans are getting their act together.

If you wanted to be mean, you should have brought up Gore in 2000. That one really stung.

I predicted a 53-47 Chafee victory.  I will count that as being nearly accurate.  Now, let's see if I'm accurate in Maryland.

Wow. Those are some good prognosticating skills.

[HardRCafé]

You should thank the NRSC for this.  Turnout is nearly 20,000 votes higher for this primary than any previous Republican primary in RI, and I have no doubt who helped Chafee's campaign increase the turnout by so much, because Chafee's campaign was really looking incompetant (Lieberman-style) earlier in this primary.

And the rest of his career.

[J. J.]

If looks like a Chafee win by a health margin.  I'm predicting Chafee wins re-election.

Expect it to tighten very slightly as Cranston comes in.
