		However, what's lacking, as Jim Langevin has pointed out to many of us, is directions to the elevator for people with disabilities or designated personnel to help people with disabilities find the elevator.

		If Langevin were to beat Brown in a Democratic Senate primary next year, Michelman would back abortion-rights adherent Chafee in the general election and urge her friends in the movement to do the same.
		Jim Langevin is the Democrat best equipped to defeat Republican Chafee, because he is well-known and highly regarded by Rhode Island voters.

		Langevin, one of Congress' few disabled members (he is a quadripeligic), was leading Rhode Island Republican Lincoln Chaffee by several points and looked to beat him in 2006, adding yet another D to the Senate.
		Jim Langevin would be a phenomenal Senator, as his record in the House attests to, and would join Bob Casey (assuming he beats Santorum) as a new and exciting pro-life leader in our caucus.
		Langevin is a liberal populist who happens to part company on this ONE ISSUE, albeit a big issue that does make me uncomfortable; and its overall a pro-choice state, albeit heavily Catholic and thus with good chunk of its overwhelming Democratic majority consisting of anti-choice Democrats; but still, people here really do LOVE him!
