Lincoln Chafee is a soft-spoken, party-switching Rhode Island Democrat. And he thinks he deserves the Democratic nomination for president in 2016 more than Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Chafee says he plans to distinguish himself from other Democrats in the race, whether Clinton or another challenger, by touting his foreign policy worldview. When he was in Congress, he was one of 23 senators who voted against the Iraq War—and the only Republican senator to do so. He says Clinton’s yea vote should disqualify her from receiving the Democratic nomination.
