Chafee's career path is entirely predictable knowing that he's an imbred incompetent WASP, and we've already seen this trajectory sort of with fellow super WASP-y Lowell Weicker (ex-Liberal Republican Senator, Independent Governor, has since been a voice largely anti-war ect.)
good god Chafee is awful. And so is Raimondo. Rhode Island politics is pretty depressing.
Whitehouse is solid.
I'll accept that Whitehouse is solid in the context of Rhode Island politics, even with some remarkably dumb comments as of late.
I was under the impression that Reed was a pretty excellent Senator and person overall. Especially his refusal to leave for more prestigious offices.
