PROVIDENCE, R.I — Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee (CHAY’fee) is hitting the road this weekend to help with President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.

Chafee is campaigning for the president’s re-election in Pennsylvania on Saturday and in Virginia on Sunday.

Chafee, an independent, also spoke on Obama’s behalf at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. last summer.

Chafee, a former Republican, served in the U.S. Senate with Obama. He left the GOP in 2007 and crossed party lines to back the then-senator during his 2008 White House run.

I think this is great. My son bought Obama signs and shirts from a man with a Republicans for Obama pin on his shirt. We live in Florida
