Poll question: In tomorrow's Rhode Island primary...

Advertisements [?]

Republican incumbent Lincoln Chafee is fighting to hold his U.S. Senate seat against a strong challenge by Stephen Laffey, the very conservative Mayor of Cranston.

Chafee is too conservative for many liberals, but too liberal for some Republicans. Laffey is running to Chafee's right, trying to grab the nomination, but faces poor odds in a general election against likely Democratic nominee Sheldon Whitehouse.

The national GOP backs Chafee for fear of losing the seat, but are said to be worried about the race no matter which man wins nomination.

What do you think happens tomorrow in Rhode Island?
