Victory Looks Tougher for Chafee

Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) is looking increasingly vulnerable for November. The Democrats have yet to nominate a candidate but have already fielded two men that are within striking distance of the incumbent senator. Sheldon Whitehouse trails Chafee 40% to 34% in a recent poll. Matt Brown does even better in the same poll, losing to Chafee 38% to 36%.

And what about after the primary? When the Democrats unite behind a candidate and the independents get a glimpse at the press that Chafee's opponent will surely get. I'm predicting a victory for the Democrats in Rhode Island.
