Sen. McCain coming to R.I. for Chafee

PROVIDENCE -- Likely 2008 presidential candidate John McCain is planning to visit Rhode Island next month on behalf of U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee.

The Arizona senator is scheduled to appear at a campaign luncheon for fellow Republican Chafee in the Hotel Providence Oct. 4.

Like Chafee, McCain is among a small group of moderate senators known as the "Gang of 14" which helped avoid a filibuster during the debate over President Bush's Supreme Court nomination Samuel Alito.

The incumbent Chafee is facing Democratic candidate Sheldon Whitehouse in November's general election.
