The Democratic Party’s nominee for governor of Rhode Island had some harsh words for the President Obama, who has withheld an endorsement in the race because ally Lincoln Chafee is running as an independent.

“I never asked President Obama for his endorsement and what’s going on here is really Washington insider politics at its worst,” nominee Frank Caprio said on a radio interview, ABC News reports. “He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned.”

In 2008, Obama carried Rhode Island by 28 points. The three-way governor’s race this year is currently a dead heat between Chafee and Caprio, with Republican candidate John Robitaille further behind.

I recently had the "pleasure" of visiting Providence, on my way to Cape Cod. A more scabrous inner city area than the one around superrich and superliberal Brown Universty would be hard to imagine; and I grew up in Chicago. What a filthy state!

Rofl! Lincoln Chafee!

Good to see the RINO to end all RINO's doing some damage to his true party.

Only designed to make this fool look good by being dissed and dissing back.

Lincoln Chafee? Thought that oleaginous dimwit was dead? Guess he's only braindead.
