Only 23 of 100 U.S. Senators saw the folly of allowing Bush/Cheney to invade Iraq. I am very proud to be one of the 23.
I remember the Gang of 14. It was a relief the country there were cooler heads in the Congress. He understands governance.

This site recorded his position on issues from previous elections. The information shows a more complicated legislator with his decisions made within a good margin of governance. Basically, what I mean by that is he doesn't practice politics from his seat of government, he governs.
How did I ever guess.

Governor Chafee should develop a page at his current website indicting policy positions as events have unfolded since he served in office. His previous positions have proven to becomes law more often than not. There isn't much on his wish list from when he was in office. He is moved by the basic needs of life in the USA. He is charitable and cares about those most vulnerable, namely the poor and disabled. He has conscience. A conscience has been lacking in the years of Bush and the Republican extremism since Bush.
I wish him luck. He can be formidable. A man who actually gets out of his chair and researches the issues before him to make an educated vote. That can be very hard to come by.
