Sen. Dodd to Decide on Joining 2008 Race

NEW YORK -- Sen. Chris Dodd said Tuesday he plans to have "a conversation
with the mirror" over the Christmas holidays to decide whether he'll join a
growing field of Democratic presidential contenders.

But Dodd, a 25-year Senate veteran, added, "If I had to make a decision in
the next thirty seconds, I'd say, 'Let's go.'"

In an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, the 62-year-old Dodd
called himself a dark horse in a crowded field dominated by New York Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. Neither Clinton nor
Obama has announced they will seek the presidency, but both lead every
national poll of Democratic contenders.

Yet with the early nominating contests still 13 months away, the Connecticut
senator insisted he still has a chance to break through.

3. "a conversation with the mirror"???

that's pretty unusual. Will it be a back and forth, or just a one way? :shrug:

4. Colluded with major crooks Tom Delay and Bob Ney to engineer a

non-transparent electronic voting system, run on TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code, owned and controlled by Bushite corporations, and to spread it all over the nation like a cancer, with $3.9 billion in boondoggle funding, through the fingers of congresscritters, state legislators and election officials, into the pockets of major Bush donors, with no controls on lavish lobbying, no required paper trail, no required audit, and secret industry "testing" of machines that are insecure, unreliable and extremely insider hackable.

Now he wants to get a return favor from Diebold and ES&S, and wants to benefit from selling off our right to vote.

A crook who hasn't yet been caught.

5. The more candidates, the better.

2008 is going to a very interesting campaign. Why not throw more names out there? :)

I definitely will not support Senator Dodd.

6. I'd really wish Russ Feingold would reconsider

7. A Senator from New England...great.

8. Joe is worse to me than Chris but I've had enough of them both

here in CT. They have simply been in power too long. At least we got rid of Nancy Johnson and Rob Simmons. Dodd is allright, he's a Democrat and he has spoken out against Bush's abuses of the constitution but he's not really a reformer. Uninspiring.
