It’s a Big Tent After All

The Boston Globe profiles Rhode Island’s version of a Republican, Sen. Lincoln Chafee. Of course, the Sierra Club loves him, he drives a Prius (what a hip maverick!), and he’s wringing his hands over the Alito vote. Most folks have heard of his “protest” vote for Bush 41 over Bush 43 in the 2004 election, but there’s more. The Globe reporter asked him if he preferred John Kerry over Bush, and Chafee weaseled out, saying Kerry “ran a horrible campaign.” So you prefer Bush to Kerry? “I didn’t say that.”
