Don't Let the Door Hit You....

From Political Wire:

"Two days after losing a bid for a second term in an election seen as a referendum on President Bush and the Republican Party, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he'd remain a Republican," the AP reports.

When asked whether he felt that his loss may have helped the country by switching control of power in Congress, he replied: "To be honest, yes."

There's no question that getting Chafee out of the Senate helped the country. He left the GOP philosophically a long time ago (example here) - he might as well go ahead and pull the plug officially. He won't be missed.
