Lincoln Chafee: The Chafee family has been immensely popular in RI. (I met his dad, the former governor and later to be senator, when he was Navy Secretary in the Nixon Administration. I was in high school and had won an essay contest to meet him. My essay was on developing a sea-based antiballistic missile system.)
But the Chafee popularity was not enough. The war in Iraq is unpopular in RI and voters there didn't want to return a GOP majority to the Senate.
