“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

More good Senate news - RI

ProJo.com:
U.S. Rep. James Langevin would hold a strong lead over incumbent U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee if he ran today against Chafee for Senate, according to a new statewide survey by Brown University.

Forty-one percent of the voters polled by Brown indicated they would vote for Langevin, while 27 percent said they would vote for Chafee, according to the random sample of 384 Rhode Island voters Saturday and Sunday.

Langevin has told Democrats he will announce his intentions April 1st. The other name touted by Dems, current Secretary of State Matt Brown, does not fair as well, running behind Chafee 39-25. Brown's main problem is one of visibility, but this is another race that with the right amount of money could shift to Democrats in 2006.
