Incidentally, here's an interesting dilemma -- Lincoln Chafee is clearly thinking of switching parties if the Dems lose a seat. Personally, I think if he's thinking about it, he should be a man and let his voters know that he's running on the other ticket, but no matter.
Here's the interesting question -- I think some of the Democratic presidential hopefuls are from states with Republican governors, or may be after the election. Chafee (if he switches) and Jeffords' worst nightmare is the Republicans ever getting back control of the Senate, because they can look forward to living out their days as the most junior man on the Indian Affairs decorating sub-committee. So does Chafee want to bet that the guy who drops out to run for President either won't be from the Senate -- or won't be from a state that has a Republican governor?
