Literally No One Supports Lincoln Chafee In Latest Poll

[Cheese Sandwich]

WASHINGTON -- Running for president can be a humbling experience. And former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee is testing the depths of a candidate's psychological endurance.

The one time Republican-turned-Independent-turned Democrat barely raised any money for his White House bid, reporting less than $30,000 on hand. And on Wednesday morning came a new poll from Monmouth University that shows him with zero percent. As in, there is no registered support for him.

eta: I kind of feel bad for him because he seems like a nice person. I'm sure he'll pick up at least a few votes after the debates.

1. Ouch. even Webb is beating him. That can't feel good.

[Cheese Sandwich]

2. It might have been an error to make the metric system a centerpiece of his campaign

I almost want to vote for him out of pity.

[HooptieWagon]

3. I'm sure the metric system is a major issue to voters...

...I believe it's ranked right below removing horse manure from city streets.

5. Hey! He won me over with that...

I just noticed that there's no DU group for him. I wish there was one. Then I could post lots of articles about how vastly superior metric is to that other one...

6. Maybe you can start the group.

You can have a pinned post at the top that has metric conversion tables.

8. Except for cooking. Cooking in metric makes me want to gouge my eyes out

Otherwise, I'm all for it.

12. I've gone to the deli and asked for 2/3 of a pound of something, and had the counter person look at

me blankly. I might as well be asking for it in metric. Some folks, if you don't ask for a pound, half pound, or quarter pound, have no idea of how to serve you.

4. If he changed his name to undecided,

at least he'd be trending upward.

[DanTex]

7. LOL. His rolling average is negative.

[Recursion]

9. I don't know that I've seen that before

Usually you'll at least get somebody who pushed the wrong button on their phone or something.

10. I'm surprised he doesn't have kilograms of support. n/t

[PoliticAverse]

11. "after the debates" - will he make the cut to be in the debates? n/t

[brooklynite]

13. There are only five Democrats...

I think they'll find a way to work him in.

[mmonk]

14. He is a decent person. I certainly would vote him over Webb.

Later, I'll look for positive things to post about him.

15. amazingly, the metric system

is not the foremost concern of the voters

who'd have thunk.

[MisterP]

16. it's the Esperanto of measuring systems

17. Bidens landing, Sanders is taking off, and Hillary is experiencing light turbulence. nt.
