Sheldon Whitehouse who beat Chafee has already endorsed Sen. Clinton

[ProudToBeLiberal]

Senator Whitehouse who is a dem beat repub Chafee and already endorsed Senator Clinton.

I would rather take a dem endorsement over a repub anyday. Let's see which endorsement matters when the RI primary comes up.

1. Chafee in herited his dad's seat - and Obama is supposedly against dynasties. nt

[skipos]

2. Yes, Obama should refuse the endorsement of Chafee because of his dad

Dumbest post I have read so far today. It is still early though.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

3. and Chafee isn't even a superdelegate! n/t

[Alter Ego]

5. I guess that means Clinton should refuse Bayh's endorsement then.

[Captain Hilts]

10. She's not campaigning against 'dynasties'. Here's a year's supply of Rice A Roni, thanks for playing

[mckeown1128]

8. What does Obama being "against dynasties" have to do with

Chafee's decision to endorse him?


Do you realize how desperate you guys sound?

[Captain Hilts]

15. The only reason Chafee became mayor of Warwick then Senator was because of his father.

He's a complete lazy ass.

Patrick Kennedy isn't a whole lot better, actually.

[mckeown1128]

28. So what the hell does that have to do with Obama? nt

Or is Obama at fault when other people in other states are elected?

[Alhena]

4. Link Chafee's tears cure cancer. Too bad he's never cried

[bigtree]

6. that's a good point

thanks for bringing that up

[ProudToBeLiberal]

7. yeah, especially when people are saying how chafee endorsement will help in RI

Whitehouse will have a bigger impact in the Dem primary

[Captain Hilts]

11. Ain't that the truth in Quahog Country. nt

[Cameron27]

9. Holy shit,

I was hoping Whitehouse would endorse Clinton! He's wonderful!

[gaspee]

12. Whitehouse

was the United States Attorney for RI under Clinton.

No surprise there.

[Captain Hilts]

14. RI has the best Senatorial tandem in the senate. nt

[Tweed]

18. Durbin and Obama for Illinois

You have a very fine team there, but no one beats our duo.

Perhaps I'm biased! ;-)

[Mass]

21. I keep Kerry/Kennedy - They voted against FISA.

[BootinUp]

16. agreed nt

[Drunken Irishman]

22. Well he endorsed her last summer.

So...

[mopinko]

25. that's what i was wondering.

it's getting easier and easier to read between the lines around here.

[maximusveritas]

13. Chafee isn't a Republican anymore; He left the party.

And he lost because of that party label. He was actually better than Whitehouse on the issues.

[Straight Shooter]

17. I love Sheldon Whitehouse's style. "Whitehouse takes Gonzales to the woodshed."

He beat the crap out of Mr. "I do not remember if I recall."

"Whitehouse Takes Gonzales to the Woodshed

How the freshman senator built the strongest case against the attorney general.
June 14, 2007

Sheldon Whitehouse sounds like a character who would be played by Franklin Pangborn, the fussy second banana to W.C. Fields in The Bank Dick. Actually, Whitehouse is a freshman Democratic senator from Rhode Island who has been the breakout star of the Senate investigation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and his firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

The secret of Whitehouse's success, other than being telegenic by C-SPAN standards, is that he seems to recognize that, when it comes to public Gonzales-bashing by Democrats, less may be more ..."

20. Sorry, I'm still more impressed by Chafee.

His stand against the Bush Administration was powerful.

[jsamuel]

24. He stood against the Bush Admin? When? After he was beaten by a Democrat who endorsed Clinton?

[Armstead]

27. No he stoood against Bush's Rush to War when Hillary was supporting it

[themaguffin]

23. Chafee at least did the right thing and voted against the war

[ProudToBeLiberal]

29. and he still lost to a democrat. lol n/t

[TheWraith]

26. Chafee is a "Republican" in the same way Lieberman is a Democrat.

Formerly, and in dubious standing even then.
