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.”
