Key Republican joins Dems opposing Bolton Nomination.

"This is probably not what President Bush had in mind when he stressed bipartisanship after the Democratic Party's midterm elections sweep

I don't whether this Bolton is a good guy or not; but if Chafee opposes Bush he has my blessings. Yes, I'm easy.

[primroseburrows]

Bolton is definitely not good. Here's a little of his record. And now he's gone! :)

Too bad we can't trade Chafee for Coker.

[primroseburrows]

Or Lieberman, for that matter. I really don't think this is the last we see of Chafee, though.

[songdog]

No, I agree with patchfire: I would *love* to trade Chafee for Corker. For Lieberman, too, but moreso before the election. Lieberman will caucus with the Dems, says he (as much as he ever did). I am hearing rumblings of Chafee (finally?!) changing parties...and to Democrat, rather than Independent, which is what I would have expected. They are rumors, though. I also love Senator Chafee. I hope he runs and wins again as a Dem or an Independent.

[primroseburrows]

My gut says he's going to go Independent, but I won't complain if he ends up a Democrat. It was an asset, actually, to have him in the Senate as a Republican, because he voted his conscience and filled a seat that might have been filled by a neocon (although I'm not sure what neocons are actually realistic contenders from such a blue state as RI).

I hope Lieberman ends up a help instead of a hindrance. I'll have to wait and see, I guess.

Saw this on DKos and smiled for you and R.I. Well done, Senator!

Isn't he just the best? <3<3
