If Chafee keeps Iraq out there, it makes chattering about the poor veterans kind of a gamble for Hillary, methinks. And be interesting to see if she even mentions the bloated MIC budget. Those roads lead back to Iraq. A war on heroin addiction - whatever that is - is a safe subject (I want to know if that just means beefing up the War on Drugs industry), and yeah, voting for all is pretty good and safe, but that might be a states' rights thing that may never actually get off the ground. Won't change many lives if we keep getting DINOs to vote for.
