We'll take him for Zell Miller

Via Kos. Lincoln Chafee is having second thoughts. From The Guardian:


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.

[. . .]

The Republican said the party's direction in the future will determine his political career as well. He said he's ``not OK'' with the conservative platform from the Republican convention, but would not say if he'd consider switching parties in his next election in 2006.

``It wasn't that long ago that moderates had more of a voice,'' Chafee said. ``It's a cycle that I hope will come back.''


See, this is where I see the difference between real Conservatives and the goddamn Jesus freak, bible thumping, right wing, Christo-Fascist, wingnuts that inhabit the area in and around 1600. Hopefully, more of the moderates will start to sit up and think.
