Oldiron_79: So how many Rhode Islands to an Alaska since we are using states as a unit of measure.

Good question.  1 Lincoln Chafee = .0000000000045771 Sarah Palin as a measure of Fail.

Born and raised in Newport RI, and I will be e first to tell you there all crooked, Chaffee was likeable when he was Mayor or Warwick, but when his dad died sympathy won him his dads seat in the senate, and he couldn't hang, so he ran for the Gov.'s Office and he has been a joke so far.
The only thing going for him besides his last name is the fact he wasn't the one who gave Curt Shilling the money, that was the last guy.

Grew up in Stonington, CT, But damn if Westerly RI right down the road rocked too.

novalord2: How could someone fark up the management of such as small state?

Google North Korea, Greece or Cyprus.

I dunno

Colorado's Lickenpooper must be at least a close second

Trivia note: Lincoln Chafee was the only Republican Senator to vote against the Iraq war.

/of course, he's no longer a Republican
//and barely was one back then

Demonrats: I am from Illinois and I will take your 7.2% February 2013 unemployment rate over our 9.5%. You are closer to the middle than you are at our dismal end. And as of Feb. 2013 you are ranked 35th and Connecticut is now in your 47th spot.

Please use current numbers rather than your Ed Schultz regurgitation. I listen to him frequently on the radio and he was spouting that number all of the recall election.

Not sure why I am bothering to reply to this, but I didn't say unemployment rate.  I said job growth #'s.

I was slightly off though - at the end of March WI was #44 out of 50.
