Surprise, surprise... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2433339&mesg_id=2433339on edit: here's the relevant quote: The man is a LIBERAL. His lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union is just 41. You read that right - FORTY-ONE. Democrats like Ben Nelson of Nebraska have higher ratings than Chafee does!

2. Nebraska's ideological spectrum is a hell of a lot different than R.I. |

Personally, I find blue-state Republican Senators far more intolerable than nationally center-right leaning red-state Democrats. Most of those red-state Democrats are actually left-of-center in their respective constituencies, but appear to be center-right from a national perspective. Nelson is not the enemy. Our enemies are so-called Republican moderates, like Chafee, Snowe, and Collins, who oh so often really allow the right wing to flourish, when we could easily get people with 80-90% liberal ratings to replace them. We're never going to get a solid liberal to replace Nelson, but we sure should make every effort to get solid liberals in solid blue states.
