Chafee quits Republican party

Lincoln D. Chafee, who lost his Senate seat in the wave of anti-Republican sentiment in last November’s election, left the Republican party. “It’s not my party any more,” he said.

Chafee said he disaffiliated with the party he had helped lead, and his father had led before him, because the national Republican Party has gone too far away from his stance on too many critical issues, from war to economics to the environment.
