Chafee to be challenged from the Right in GOP primary

We report in this week's Evans-Novak Political Report (sorry, no link, we're too expensive) that Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey (R.) will jump into the U.S. Senate primary against Lincoln Chafee (R.) next month -- the date will probably be September 15. Laffey's been holding off since May, but now he's hired a campaign manager.

Laffey will be challenging Chafee from the Right. It's questionable whether he would win the general election, but his odds are not significantly worse than Chafee's.

Laffey is really crossing swords with the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the RNC by doing this. Elizabeth Dole and Ken Mehlman have been begging him for months not to run. Bad, bad news for Dole, who may preside as NRSC chairwoman over a loss of three or four Senate seats, no small part of it her own fault. This only complicates matters.

No surprise that Republican researchers have already begun poring over Laffey's divorce files. Get ready for an ugly primary.

Good---I hope Linc loses. Maybe that'll finally wake him up to how extreme his party is--His flirtations with switching 50+ times and flip flops I have had enough of them.

Another one bites the dust

1. Lincoln Chaffee is an ass kisser

Anybody who calls him a "moderate" when he goes along with every obscene suggestion that the WH makes is crazy. I hate him.

2. A "pro-choice" Moderate

That voted for some of the most extremist judges in America. Arlen Chafee lol

3. A vote for Chafee is a vote for Bill Frist

or Trent Lott, or Bob Dole, or any of the other assh*les Chafee has voted for as leader over the years.
