Excellent site. It was pleasant to me.

Only hope the Democrats are smart enough to run someone/anyone against Dodd in the primary. Without that happening, and Dodd's challenger winning, a Republican or possibly 3rd party candidate will be victorious in general election.

Dodd, like other elected officials in our government has lost the confidence of the people of Connecticut, the country, the world. Presidents, Senators, Congressmen, Governors, Mayors and

most municiple employees are no longer held accountable for their actions. These people feel the rules do not apply to them. Senator Chris Dodd is the poster child for these people.

Asleep at the wheel as Chairman of Senate Banking Committee during the worldwide financial meltdown, a lost year in Iowa accepting "contributions" from banking + mortage giants, a "V.I.P." loan from Countrywide, a castle in Ireland purchased under a cloud of suspicion, millions raised from those he was suppose to be monitoring and holding accountable...

DODD HAS GOT TO GO IN '10, LIEBERMAN IN '12! LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoever faces off against Dodd for the GOP, they will have an easy ready-made theme, and it's a no-brainer.

It's "C H A N G E" ...

Boy I sure hope you are right. I live in Connecticut and would absolutely love to see Mr Dodd leave the Senate (and the State for that matter - I'm even ok if he exits the country). Larry Kudlow as his replacement.....I can't let myself get that excited - too good to be true.

I just don't understand why Mr Dodd would insert a pay cap into the stumulus for WS bankers - many of whom live in Fairfield County CT (like myself) and pay significant CT income taxes. Has anyone told him that CT is in the top 10 states of budget shortfall? I don't think we are anywhere near the top 10 in population.

The only reason I can think of to drive his action is he intends to move to another state.....

SHould be thrown out on his ear just like Barney Frank - crooks the both of them.

Larry of CA 1:11PM March 02, 2009

As much as I love his thinking, Larry has a very messy past that included, IIRC, substance abuse problems. He is upfront about it, but it would make a side-show for any political campaign.
