How did Carcieri (if what I read up on him is true) manage to get elected as Governor of Rhode Island?
Also, I hope Chafee gives em hell.
He had terrible opponents both times. Myrth York ran for Governor 3 times and lost every time, and Charlie Fogarty basically ran a non-campaign, expecting to be swept into office by the natural Democratic lean of the state.
Having briefly read up on both the Democrats, I'd probably vote for Chafee if I lived in RI. Caprio and Lynch don't sound particularly inspiring to me. I am skeptical that Chafee can win, though, especially given his fundraising troubles.
