Check out his new campaign ad.
COMMERCIAL: Lincoln Chafee is 1.8 meters and 71.7 kilograms of red-blooded American.
Some question his campaign platform but don't judge him until you've walked 1609.34 meters in his shoes.
He'll fight to ensure every hectare of this country is safe.
And when it comes to healthcare, he won't budge 2.58 centimeters.
When will Chafee let Wall Street off the hook? When hell reaches a cool 0 degrees Celsius.
Plus he supports a popular movement to convert the dollar to the Euro.
Lincoln Chafee, he'll be out of this race in 0.2 nanoseconds.

1. Strange announcement.

That was the weirdest roll out of a presidential campaign I've ever seen. Really scratching my head over that one.

2. What does the euro have to do with metric?

Metric is used everywhere except Burma, Liberia, and one other backwards country. Its name has slipped my memory for the moment.
