Former Republican Senator and Independent Governor Lincoln Chafee is running for President as a Democrat: “During his speech, Chafee highlighted his strong opposition to military intervention in the Middle East, saying, ‘we have to find a way to wage peace.’ He said drone strikes weren’t working in the region. And he also said, ‘We must deliberately and carefully extricate ourselves from expensive wars,’ Chafee said. ‘Just think of how better this money could be spent.” Chafee stressed using that money for investment within America’s borders. “Education infrastructure, healthcare, environmental stewardship and a strong middle class are Americans’ priorities.'”

NYT’s Frank Bruni “announces” his bid for the GOP nomination: “I used to think that faintness on voters’ radar was an impediment to running. Hardly. In a recent Quinnipiac poll, 69 percent of respondents said that they didn’t know enough about Fiorina to have any opinion of her, 60 percent said the same about Carson, and 56 percent said that about Graham, even though he’s been in Congress for two decades and had himself surgically conjoined with John McCain. I used to think that a groundswell of support mattered. Not at all. Last I checked, Jindal and George Pataki were both polling below 1.5 percent. That must have them losing to the margin of error.”
