For once, the assholes in the Club for Growth may be helping the Democrats. The race for Lincoln Chafee’s Senate  sea is looking to be a key race this fall in determining who has control of the U.S. senate. The Democrats  appear to have a strong fundraiser and candidate  in former state  Attorney General Sheldon Whitehouse. Chafee is locked in a contentious and costly primary fight with the mayor of Cranston. Chafee is handily out fundraising  Mayor  Laffey,  but the mayor is getting help from the Kommissars of  conservative orthodoxy in the Club for Growth. Laffey just may leave Chafee bruised badly enough that the Ds can pick this one up.
