		While Chafee is a moderate, for him to remain in the Senate is to perpetuate the same lack of checks and balances and refusal to provide oversight that we have seen for the last six years.
		A vote for John Chafee is a vote for Bill Frist which is a vote for torture, more and more terrorists every day, and a vote for a far right wing reactionary Surpreme Court and misdirected tax cuts.
		Chafee has been wearing bush kneepads for 5 years now and 11th hour conversion is not going to suffice for a reason to give him another chance.
