Former Senator Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) is now a political Independent and helped spearhead with former Bush 2000 campaign New York co-chair Rita Hauser and former Congressman Jim Leach "Republicans for Obama."

I think that there is a very good chance that Chafee could end up as a senior member of an Obama administration -- or even more interestingly, he may be preparing himself for a bid as an Independent to run for the governorship of Rhode Island.

I spent a few minutes with him yesterday talking about the current policy and political terrain as well as his recently released book, Against the Tide: How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President.

A more full version of Lincoln Chafee's talk at the New America Foundation yesterday titled "What Patriotism Looks LIke" can be viewed here. His comments about Sarah Palin in the Q&A were 'colorful'. (the Palin comments come about 53:08. He calls Sarah Palin a "cocky whacko.")
