After tonight, the candidates for Rhode Island's high-profile U.S. Senate race may be able to relax. For a few minutes.

For the fifth time, incumbent Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee and Democratic challenger Sheldon Whitehouse will meet to debate -- the last scheduled such session of the campaign.

The debate will be aired live on Channel 10 at 7 p.m. (The Whitehouse campaign has planned a "debate-watch party" at Chelo's in the Warwick Mall.)

While the candidates won't have any more debate preparation to worry about, the campaigns can't take a break for long. There are just eight days left before the Nov. 7 election.

Chafee deserves to lose because his campaign his been too nasty and too personal, and because Rhode Island wants the Democrats in the Senate, including Jack Reed, to be part of this nation's governing majority. Our country needs a check on the Bush administration's excesses, which Chafee as a Republican simply cannot provide.

Well, now it finally comes out, if Whitehouse gets elected, he'll remove any chance the people of Rhode Island have to stop a casino by doing funny business in Washington. Keep that in mind when you vote Tuesday.
