Rhode Island Senate Primary official thread

Game over in RI.

RI GOP chooses electoral success over ideology.

Great work.

Gives me hope we will hold the Senate.

(my prediction was Chafee 53% Laffey 47%)

[Lincoln Republican]

Now Chafee and Santorum will be able to continue their work together in the new Senate in Jan/07.

The heir to the legendary Rhode Island Chafee name rides to victory in November.

I don't think Santorum is looking for a new Chief of Staff.

I'm sure he'll continue to get them from San Francisco.

No, you must be thinking of Barney Frank, the Democrat.

Yeh....because I bet they agree on a  lot of things....

Hey, if Orrin Hatch and Ted Kennedy can work together on legislation, and get it through the Senate, and they have, then anyone can.

[Lincoln Republican]

Chafee!  Chafee!  Chafee!

I am so friggin proud of my party tonight!  Lets hope the good news holds sweeps over AZ-8 too

And you have every right to be proud.  We came through in the crunch, never mind the predominant party ideology, which I support by the way, but we came through in the name of political expediency and common sense, because we want to keep this RI Senate seat in GOP hands.

Linc Chafee, the man for the times.

Now on to victory in November!!!!!!

I think he was making a joke about how Santorum's current (or was it his past?) Chief of Staff is gay.

Oh.  I knew it must be some kind of joke, though I had no idea about what specifically.

Good for Santorum, though, for hiring a Chief of Staff who is gay.  It just shows that Santorum has respect for all people, straight or gay.
