I've heard a bit about Paul Hodes, sounds like an upstanding guy. With Pat Kennedy way ahead in the polls and Langevin running unopposed, the Dems have the House seats locked up down here. The real race is for the Senate seat. Chafee's the incumbent, a left leaning republican. Whitehouse is the Dem nominee. So far Whitehouse is leading in the polls. Weird thing is, these two guys agree on everything. Whitehouse's only campaign strategy thus far is to say "yeah but you're a Republican, and so is Bush". I actually like Chafee, he's antii-war, pro-choice, and an environmentalist. I will be voting for his opponent though, it's all about the majority at this point.
Be glad you were wrong, and trust a little more.
