I wasn't kidding about a Chafee switch
The first of my "Nine Thoughts About the 2006 Election" analysis was that Rhode Island's Republican Senator John Chafee might well have switched parties, especially if his switch would break a 50 to 50 Senate tie.
Via the Boston Globe (and hat tip to Kathryn Lopez of National Review Online's "The Corner":
PROVIDENCE, R.I. --Two days after losing a bid for a second term in an election seen as a referendum on President Bush and the Republican Party, Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he was unsure whether he'd remain a Republican.
"I haven't made any decisions. I just haven't even thought about where my place is," Chafee said at a news conference Thursday when asked whether he would stick with the Republican Party or switch to be an independent or Democrat.
