Daily Kos :: Comments Converting GOP Senators

Chafee (none / 0)

Chafee's seat is fairly safe from a Republican challenger. Lincoln Chafee is probably the only Republican in RI who can win a Senate election with the possible exception of Governor Carcieri. If the RI GOP takes him down and puts up the wingnut mayor of Cranston in his place, the Democratic candidate wins in a landslide (unless maybe it's Patrick Kennedy).
The question is how much trouble is Chafee's vote for Frist worth to the GOP? How much is his vote for cloture worth? If it's not much, then they may just take their chances.

  is attempting to take complete control of the government. I will be suprised if they don't challenge Chaffee. Their arrogance blinds them and will eventually drive them to self-destruct. The question is how much damage they will do before they implode the american people drive them out of town.
