RE: SAVING CHAFEE

Ruth Anne Adams opines:

Didn't Pennsylvania have a similar problem with Senator Specter's recent reelection bid? Wasn't that a highly contested primary with a more conservative Republican waging a good fight? But didn't the Bush team support Specter? The pragmatists out there believe that the Republicans should support not the one most conservative, but the one most likely to win in the general election? I have a sense that the Bush team is embracing "the devil that they know."
