Chafee blows his "moderate" reputation out of the water

Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.), whose collegial personality has bolstered his appeal in an otherwise blue state, took an indirect shot at Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) during a debate Monday night with his Democratic opponent, state Attorney General Sheldon Whitehouse.

When Whitehouse blasted Chafee for failing to push for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation in the wake of escalating chaos in Iraq, the incumbent -- trailing his foe by as many as eight points in recent polls -- asked Whitehouse why he has failed to question Reid's amended reports to the Senate ethics committee clarifying the details of a $1.1 million land deal.

"Whitehouse is talking about, `you should call for this, you should call for that,' and the senator is putting out that the current Democratic minority leader, Harry Reid, has got some ethics questions surrounding his conduct and Whitehouse has stayed silent," Chafee campaign manager Ian Lang said. "Does believe that this disqualifies Reid as minority leader?"-snip-


Yeah right, like that will play in Rhode Island :eyes:
