Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee has notified senior Democratic Party officials that he intends to switch his party registration and join the Democratic Party, Politico reports. Chafee, a former GOP senator, was elected to the governor's office as an independent in 2010. He campaigned for President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Obama was perceived as so Chafee-friendly in 2010 that the Democratic nominee that year, Frank Caprio, told a radio station the president could "take his endorsement and really shove it."
