So, let me get this straight. Sweeney won't be endorsed by the Democratic Party because he backed a Republican, that has a good rapport with Democrats, and may just be the voice of opposition/reason over so many people that think the same way?

Sounds like the Democratic Party needs to find a new way of thinking. I LOVE that Mr. Faria speaks of doing things historically, but complains that new blood is doing the same old, same old. That makes about as much sense as "60% of the time, it works every time."

How about this? How about maybe Mr.Sweeney may have found the walking down the middle may accomplish more than picking aside. In shape this state is in, maybe trying to walk down the middle and actually practicing TRUE bi-partisanship will be more effective as the "same old, same old." I think Rhode Islanders are sick, most of all, of elected representatives saying "I am willing to/want to work with the other party" only to see later that, that isn't overly true. While they all sit at a stalemate and tackle lesser issues, the bigger issues and more pressing questions remain the same and are left unanswered. Who benefits from that? Because it isn't the people.
