Has he asked his voter to support one of the other candidates?
Man, I really thought he was going to go all the way. It just shows the unpredictability of politics.
He spoke his mind, tried to make a difference, and I thank him for trying — and for knowing when it was time to go.
I suppose Starbucks finally got back to him regarding that barista application. Read it and weep America, you had your chance but Chafee sized talent has options.
Breaking, just coming over the wire we have his statement:
Devastated.
It’s like when he left the Republican Party, all over again. Someone hold me.
The man is a walking illustration of why hereditary aristocracy is a bad idea.
Advice for Mr. Chaffee- next time someone asks if your opponent’s integrity is important, answer,”No”.
So much for America adopting the metric system.

Here’s all you need to know about the metric system:
A 19mm socket will do if you don’t have a 3/4″ one.
He must have read Claire’s handbasket post this morning.
:)
I’m already missing Linc.
His time to go was about 40 years ago…
I wasn’t aware that he was in. Might one assume that he has generated as much attention as Pataki? Less?
Does he get a participation trophy?
“But after much thought . . . ”
As Laura Ingraham said on her show today “how much thought did it take?”
And for once I find myself disagreeing with Claire – Lincoln Chafee never should have gotten into the race in the first place, no matter what party. When Christians are being beheaded in the Middle East, when Putin is on the march, when millions of Americans are out of work, making the U.S. go metric should not be your platform . . .
FG, I chafe at your puns.
Do you think Jim Webb might choose him as his VP?
I would say less. How many, “Why are you here?” comments has Pataki drawn? Chaffee couldn’t even get that.
