Frustrated Moderate

He might be a Republican, but Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island isn't sure he'll support President Bush.

The moderate lawmaker might write in another Republican candidate rather than Bush, many of whose policies Chafee opposes. (Chafee was the lone Republican to vote against the October 2002 resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq.)

Chafee said supporting the president in heavily Democratic Rhode Island was a lost cause anyway.

"It wasn't that long ago that moderates had more of a voice," said Chafee, who was appointed to the Senate in 1999 after the death of his father, Sen. John H. Chafee. "It's a cycle that I hope will come back," he told reporters last week.

The Bush-Cheney '04 campaign declined to comment.
