There aren’t many candidates worse than “Weak Linc” Chafee, but they may include the guy he’s running against. More Evans-Novak:

Democrats are very nervous about Rhode Island, because private polling shows him surging far ahead. This race might become a comfortable victory by tomorrow for the liberal Chafee.
