From Rasmussen:
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Rhode Island finds Chafee with 37% to Caprio’s 30% if John Robitaille is their GOP opponent. Robitaille, a former top aide to current Governor Don Carcieri, gets 23% of the vote. Two percent (2%) would vote for “some other candidate” and eight percent (8%) are undecided.
If former State Representative Victor Moffitt is the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Chaffee earns 36% support to Caprio’s 33%. Moffitt nets 18% of the vote. In that match-up, 4% prefer another option and 9% are undecided.
Chafee is truly centrist, eh? …good sign that a centrist finds that unafilliated is the most gainful status.
…wonder what he thinks of “Modern Whig” for a party name.
Win the election; then declare partisanship!
Just a thot! —- Chaffe fan
As much as the average blogger may disagree with other members of the Loyal Opposition, can we all agree that it is primarily the %@$#& Democans and the $^@$#% Republicrats whom have run the USS USA off onto the reef?
He already talked about his political affiliations in an article. In it, he mentioned he gave serious consideration to joining a minor party. However, he said he didn’t agree with the Greens or Libertarians enough, and he thought the name of the Moderate Party sounded too “wishy-washy”.
I hope Chafee would join the Green Party.
