2006 Senate Race

After Jim Langevin announced he will not challenge Lincoln Chafee in 2006, our own Patrick Kennedy announced today he also will not run, opting to instead remain on the House appropriations committee.

This means that the Democratic challenger will either be Secretary of State Matt Brown or former Attorney General Sheldon Whitehouse. Senator Chafee does not yet have a challenger, though Cranston Mayor Steven Laffey may still post a primary challenge.

Two Years Later...

More than 1500 US soldiers are now dead as a result of the war in Iraq. The war has also taken the lives of 86 British soldiers, 20 Italian soldiers, 18 Ukrainians, 17 Polish, 11 Spaniards, 8 Bulgarians (including one today), 3 from Slovakia, 2 from Estonia, Thailand and the Netherlands, and 1 each from Denmark, El Salvador, Hungary, Latvia and Kazakhstan.

Out of the 1,503 US casualties, six are from Rhode Island, 27 are from Massachusetts, 14 are from Connecticut, 69 are from New York, 34 are from New Jersey, and one is from my hometown.

Rest in Peace.
