Lincoln Chafee not sure what he is

Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee, a moderate Republican defeated in a reelection bid, may be considering leaving the Red party, unsure of where he fits.

Chafee lost to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in a race seen as a referendum on President Bush and the GOP. On Thursday, he was asked whether he would stick with the Republican Party or become an independent or Democrat.

“I haven’t made any decisions. I just haven’t even thought about where my place is,” Chafee said at a news conference. When pressed on whether his comments indicated he might leave the GOP, he replied: “That’s fair.”

Too bad, the crazies took over his party and he got caught in the crossfire.

Perhaps if he had stood up to the zealots of the far right he would still have his job.
