From the Boston Globe article on his website:
“I think the eventual next step is another party,’’ Chafee said. This new party, as Chafee envisions it, would be stingy with the public’s money, strong on the environment, and liberal on social issues, which sounds like a throwback to the old Rockefeller Republicans that once ruled the Northeast."
As much as I agree that America desperately needs that viewpoint, I think he's ridiculous if he thinks that a new Party is going to be generated out of it. His departure from the Republican Party turned him from being the vanguard of the solution to being a part of the problem.
But if I lived in Rhode Island, he would have my vote. He's a deeply decent man.
