Are primaries in Rhode Island closed or open?  If open, I strongly urge that every Democrat of voting age in Rhode Island vote for Stephen Laffey in the Republican primary. 
From the Rhode Island Board of Elections Webpage:

Rhode Island has a 'closed' or party primary system. This means that you may only vote in one party's primary. If you are registered as "unaffiliated" you may vote in the primary of any party you choose. Once you vote in a primary, however, you are considered a member of that party until and unless you "disaffiliate".

I'll agree somewhat with Phil on this one. Although I believe he would lose, Laffey is being underestimated by Democrats. Remember he did after all somehow manage to get elected mayor of a Democratic leaning city. Maybe he could get elected to the senate in a Democrat leaning state...unlikely but if he does defeat Chafee he won't get less than 44% of the vote in the general election.
