Not even 24 hours passed before Chafee
embarrassed me. Even so, the point I was trying to make stands.
Chafee's actions allow me to make another point. If party discipline had held behind Coors two years ago, Republicans wouldn't need Chafee. Now, instead of being able to rely on Coors and ignore Chafee, we may find the Senate being pulled to the left, not only by Chafee, if he survives, but by three, four, or five new Dem Senators.
There is an old saying with many versions: "Don't let the best be the enemy of good enough." Coors was good enough, and certainly far better than Salazar, as many who sat on their hands two years ago may soon discover.
