MICKEY KAUS ON LINCOLN CHAFEE:

But here’s a thought experiment: Suppose the Republicans were to pick up three Senate seats in the coming election, giving them a majority of two. Is there the slightest chance that Chafee would then bolt and become a Democrat — which would involve leaving the majority party to join the minority? No, there is not a chance. What does that say about how principled Chafee’s chafing is?

He’s got a new campaign slogan, too.
