Yeah, ok. I am pulling for Laffey because I just don't care but to say that he is up this much is insane. He's going to lose anyway although it will be a close race.
You don't care about losing another Senate seat?
I don't see him voting for our candidate for leader anyway so what does it matter? If it comes down to a one seat majority, Chafee is the next Jeffords. Plus, I think he'll lose the seat anyway. Whitehouse can demolish Chafee and he'll give Laffey a pounding, too (if he somehow gets the nomination) but at least we'll be losing with someone closer to us than someone we've had to kiss up to for years.
