The Moderate Party clearly has money and a base of support. They also have an executive director. It is helpful for a campaign to have party backing--especially if that party can mobilize voters, activists, money, and hire staff. However, Chafee likely has much more support all on his own. Mike,

While on the flip side of this the Moderate Party would gain emencely from Chafee running on there ballot line.
