Whatever. I was actually sorry that Chafee didn't win. He seemed like a
good Senator to me, one of the very few republicans that I might vote
for if in his distrct. And I believe that republican arrogance (as
opposed to "overconfidence") had a part to play with the electorate
too.
The final poll in the state showed 62% liked him and thought he was doing a
fine job....and they still voted for the Dem to teach Bush and the Repubs a
lesson. We New Englanders are like that, you know. :-)
Like that stupid? Bush doesn't give a **** about the party.
I think the lessons republicans learned is voting for
someone who doesn't represnet you cuz he's better than the other guy
isn't.
My brother was a republican up until this election. The anti-science
whacko ID/stem cell/Schiavo group in the republicans (****, that
sounded like Arny. I may have to kill myself now.) was what turned him
over.
I suspect the Dems picked up a whole lot more like him. And even more
turned independent.
BTW....
