With 90 percent of the districts reporting on election night, independent candidate and former U.S. senator Lincoln Chafee was declared the winner, with 36 percent of the vote to Republican John Robitaille's 34 percent.[4] As of 2023[update], this was the last time Newport County voted for the Republican candidate in a statewide election.
The campaign drew nationwide attention in late October when President Barack Obama, faced with a choice between Democrat Caprio and independent Chafee (who, although he had been a Republican as a senator, had endorsed the Democratic Obama for president in 2008) chose not to make any endorsement in the race. Caprio responded to the lack of an endorsement by his fellow Democrat by stating that the President "can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I'm concerned."[9]
