The Purge of The Republican Party has begun in Connecticut. Next Stop Rhode Island. Final Destination. The White House.
RI-Sen: Chafee falls further behind
Daily Kos
Excerpt
Rasmussen. 8/3. Likely voters. MoE 4.5% (7/11 results)
Chafee (R) 38 (41)
Whitehouse (D) 44 (46)
Laffey (R) 31 (29)
Whitehouse (D) 55 (57)
I’d bet that what we saw in neighboring Connecticut last night will repeat itself in Rhode Island with Laffey taking out the incumbent. Anti-incumbent sentiment is running strong, and those incumbents under 50 percent will be extra vulnerable this year.
