1. So is that a good turnout for us? nt

4. Not sure, depends on Chafee's pull across party lines, but a good

place to start for November, imo. (Check the RI State forum, there may be more local knowledge there.)

2. Thank you Carl...

Last time I seen a poll between Whitehouse and Chafee they were neck in neck; that was a while back though.

3. Why Whitehouse can easily win

Now they've got the radical right wing out of the way.

5. Bingo!

;-) And you win today's second ChimpCo "obvious answer" award. ;-)

Tell me the rapture right knocks down doors to vote for Chafee and I've got a bridge in Manhattan to sell ya.

This is going to be *great*.
