If President Obama wants Republicans in his cabinet--how about Linc Chafee? |

Lincoln is awesome. If Repukkes were all like him, we could really move our country forward. I wish Chaffee's wing would take over the Repukke party, which would be great...it would probably move the Dems a bit further to the left and would marginalize the far right as the fascists they are.
Trouble is, the people who ARE like Chaffee are now Democrats.

As republicans go he was pretty decent. But since I'm not from RI I have no idea about Chafee as far as views are concerned. I think this would be a great bi-partisan move...the only one we need in fact.

7. Chafee is a rare breed - a Rockefeller Republican |
|
We should keep him for breeding stock.

maybe we could suggest it?
A position was going to be given to Dick Lugar but he said thanks but no thanks, out with the old and in with the new.

12. First let Obama determine who he wants to hire |
|
That's why he's there and we all put him there for that reason.

13. Unfortunately it isn't seen as totally bipartisan when you pick a RINO |
|
Richard Clarke should play a key role in an Obama Administration IMO.

14. Chafee was absoulutly SPINELESS in commitee blocks of Bolton and other Bush Nominees. |
|
He could have blocked the last two Supremes and didn't.
