Obama did not support Caprio in Rhode Island, but former President Bill Clinton showed his public support today in classy fashion. Kudos to Bill Clinton and all the best to Frank Caprio!!!!

1. I don't know

Caprio blew it when he said Obama could 'shove it'. His attitude has been so juvenile I am back on the fence and may vote for Chaffee.

2. The president has to be careful while in the white house. Clinton has more leeway

[Tunkamerica]

11. actually i meant that several people with similar low post counts

2 with the same avatar posted comments that were almost exactly the same. Someone here is playing for Chaffee's team.

12. Low post counts? I see several with 1000+ and many of them people

I have seen for over 4 years. Look at the profiles - they have been here for years and some have far more posts than you. The OP is the only low post person - so should we assume that he is a shrill? I would prefer not doing that unless there was significant proof - and there's none. Many people have the same avatars - they are not unique - although I don't see the similar avatars you do.

Here, you will have two groups of people. Those who are favoring the more liberal candidate - a man of great integrity, even if he is a Republican running as an independent. Those favoring the Democrat, who I know relatively little about other than the recent uncalled for rudeness - that actually called attention to the fact that the President did not endorse anyone in the Governor race or campaign with any Governor candidate.

This is complicated further as Bill Clinton did endorse him today. I just hope the Clinton's endorsement does not now lead to the Republican winning.
