Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee may not have dotted all the I’s and crossed all the T’s the day he’s expected to jump into the 2016 presidential race.
On the same day Chafee is expected to announce his candidacy for president via the Democratic primary his wife asked on Facebook whether any of his staff remembered his Facebook password.
“Does anybody from my Husband’s staff remember his FB page access?” Chafee’s wife, Stephanie Chafee, wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
Bloomberg Politics was able to reach Chafee spokeswoman Debbie Rich who confirmed that Chafee was indeed asking for the log-in details to the Facebook page for Chafee managed by his staff when he was governor. Chafee’s presidential team wanted to combine the governor’s page with the page for his presidential campaign.
Stephanie Chafee has been vocal about her frustration that her husband’s moves toward running for president (including setting up an exploratory committee) hasn’t gotten more attention.
“No one has contacted him,” Stephanie Chafee complained on Facebook in April which, she added is “so SAD!”

So sad-- that no one is commenting either.

Perhaps due to the fact that it’s so pathetic.
Does it count as a comment to say some things are better left unsaid? But he’ll say serious things if and when people ask
I know, the tubes are so confusing!
Democratic senators introduced a bill this week aimed at changing what former Attorney General Eric Holder once called the “unacceptable” lack of data on the subject of police shootings.
Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Tuesday introduced the Police Reporting of Information, Data and Evidence Act (PRIDE), which would require states to report to the Justice Department any time a law enforcement officer is involved in a shooting and any instance where an officer or a civilian is seriously hurt or killed as a result of the use of force. States would also have to report details like the age, race and location of any victims; whether or not the civilians present were armed; and how many civilians and officers were involved.
