1. Senator Chafee is a total eccentric
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 05:10 PM by stellanoir
If we must have a Repub Senator here in R.I., I'm glad it's him.

He went off and became a blacksmith after college during his 20's.

He's really a character and has never bought into BushCo.

A rumor is circulating that Patrick Kennedy might challenge him for his Senate seat in '06. I think that would be a huge mistake.

2. I think it's time for Chaffee
to walk to the other side of the aisle

Jeffords did it, come on Lincoln - how can he stomach it

7. I love Linc Chafee
One of the few HONEST folks in D.C.

Remember, he voted against IWR.

He said he went to the CIA for an intelligence briefing, & it did not show that Iraq was a threat to the U.S.

Imagine if all the Dems who voted AYE, had done the same thing. And if a few more Repugs had done the same thing.

9. Ah, now he won't get invited to state dinners or be allowed into campaign
events. Damn, I bet he's broken hearted.

10. Well, this counterbalances Zell's vote,
doesn't it? Too bad we didn't know sooner, like in time for Chaffee to make a speech at the Democratic Convention.

11. lol, he might write in Poppy
this might be a good campaign, a "draft Poppy" movement...

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=6285233

His spokesman Stephen Hourahan said afterward that if Chafee does write in a name it would be that of Bush's father, former President Bush.

14. If the Senate is 49-50-1 on January 3...
He needs to switch over so lame duck Dickless Cheney doesn't get to have a say in the Senate control.

15. Republican hostility towards moderates has become ...
... an increasing problem. In NC, the wingnut Republicans have been sharpening their claws to attack the moderates.
