re: In an extraordinary pre-emptive announcement, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has said it will concede Rhode Island to the Democrats should Stephen Laffey, the mayor of Cranston, defeat Mr. Chafee in the primary. Citing poll data, Republican leaders said they saw no way someone as conservative as Mr. Laffey could win in a state as Democratic as this; as it is, they are increasingly worried about Mr. Chafee's hopes in a general election. Unlike the Dems and the Lieberman situation, the Reps care more about party than policy.

Cantwell widens her lead McGavick's DUI goof may be a factor By NEIL MODIE P-I REPORTER Coupled with Sen. Maria Cantwell's TV advertising blitz, Republican challenger Mike McGavick's mishandled disclosure of a 1993 drunken-driving arrest might be damaging his poll numbers and how electable national pundits see him to be. Those perceptions are factors that influence the national flow of campaign money, which Cantwell already has much more of than her opponent. In the wake of news reports contradicting aspects of McGavick's DUI confession, Cantwell has surged to a 17percentage-point lead over him in a new survey of Washington voters taken Sept. 6 by Rasmussen Reports, a national, independent polling firm.. "The first election poll in Washington since the (DUI) story broke shows ... Cantwell leading 52 percent to 35 percent," the Rasmussen Reports Daily Snapshot said in a sketchy, preliminary report Monday.
