#2 I can't see where he was doing the GOP much good anyhow. Kind of like McCain.

#3 I'd just as soon this traitor to the party begone. Not necessarily out of ideological purity, I just don't like the fact that he accepted all the party efforts to keep him in office, yet did his best to screw Bush and conservatives over at every opportunity. No thanks

Day-to-day I agree, but his (R) would go toward majority status and all the committee chairs based on that.

#5 Rhode Island... prides itself on being insulated from the grubby machine politics of the rest of the country.

That's perhaps because it was the seat of organized crime in New England. Machines aren't started or needed when one group called the shots.

#9 "...inherited his senate seat when his father John died in office..."
I'm sorry, have we...or Rhode Island became a rotten borough, or some sort of malevolent aristocracy? Well, yeah, I know that Massachusetts belongs to the Kennedys, but Lord Above, citizens, have you no pride? No honor? Are you not willing to throw yourselves against an established, hereditary aristocracy? What is wrong with you, that this sort of thing can stand!!!
Citizens!! To the barricades!
(exit, stage left, singing... well, not the Marseilles but something inspiring and uniquely American. Maybe the Battle Hymn of the Republic, or This Land is Your Land yeah, definitely This Land is Your Land... all together now, in an inspiring chorusThis land is your land, this land is my land, from the New York Island.)

#10 Battle Hymn of the Republic, third verse, the really belligerent one:

I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
