"GOP Sen. Won't Commit to Voting for Bush"

[GreenPartyVoter]

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee said Monday he plans to support his party in November but may write in a candidate instead of voting for President Bush.

The Rhode Island lawmaker, known for moderate views that often run counter to the Bush administration, said he was going to vote for a member of his party even though he disagrees with the president on many issues.

"I'm a Republican," said Chafee, who was appointed to the Senate in November 1999 to fill the seat when his father, John, died.

Chafee also said that Democratic Sen. John Kerry's lead in Rhode Island is so commanding, according to polls, that his vote won't affect the outcome.

4. This guy is no Zell Miller. He's a moderate. Zell is a Dixiecrat holdover

6. I meant in a more general sense

The guy belongs to one party but doesn't really support that party.
Like Liberman :)

7. I don't like Lieberman either

but it isn't like he's Zell Miller. He still votes with the party on the vast majority of issues. Including the budget.
