Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) vs Robert Menendez (D-NJ)

[Ebowed]

Lincoln Chafee, obviously.

[DownWithTheLeft]

I would probably run away to another country, but considering if I had to rank the senators I'd put Chaffee around 95th worst and Menendez 99th or 100th I'd say Chafee.

I think a conservative 3rd party would arise and I'll throw an interesting ticket of John Kyl/Tim Pawlenty

Most Dems abandon Menendez fearing that spliting between Chafee and Menendez would allow the 3rd party to carry a lot of states

Chafee wins

i would vote for Chafee without a second thought and I think he would destroy Menendez. Chafee would spend a lot of time in the Northeast, because that would be the only competitive area.

Chafee wins the EC 520-18, and the PV 59%-40%.

Depends entirely on the office.  Party loyalty forces me to go for Menendez in an election to congress, I'd absolutely support Chafee in a gubernatorial race, and for president I'd be undecided/lean Chafee.

[Bdub]

Lincoln Chafee, obviously.

[Lincoln Republican]

Clearly Linc.

Even with his flaws, and they are too many to enumerate, Linc is preferable to anyone Corzine would favor and appoint.

[Joe Republic]

Chafee is superior in many, many ways.  I'd vote for him over that sleazebag in a heartbeat.

One on one Chafee might even take MA or would stand a fighting chance in VT, and could pull 40% in DC

I agre with this completely. In the Senate, the majority is too important, so party affiliation matters a lot. On the basis of issues alone, I'd be for Chafee.

I doubt it. MA, VT, and DC are all highly partisan rather than highly liberal. Which is the only reason I gave them to Menendez.

[Speed of Sound]

Free from the chains of partisanship, I need not worry of party attacks when I vote for:


Lincoln Chafee (R)

[MasterJedi]

Chafee

[Keystone Phil]

Talk about a race I'd gladly not vote in but if it came down to it, I'd go with Chafee over the piece of slime.

[memphis]

For Prez, Chaffee because I think he would do a better job. For Congress, Menedez, because I'd be voting for a Democratic majority, which is more important than the individual member.

[opebo]

Menendez. Chafee, though least bad of the Republicans, is still a Republican.
