I miss Dodd. I hope he's in consideration as someone's VP or for the Cabinet

[cgrindley]

I think he ran a nice, clean campaign, and as my senator, I think he does an outstanding job. I'd like to see him get a good position in the next administration. I think he'd make a great VP for someone.

1. No problem with Dodd or his creds. The problem is that we'd lose a Senate seat.

The Republican governor of CT would likely appoint Shays to fill the seat, or someone even worse.

4. Good point

I wish Blumenthal would enter national politics. I love that guy. The so-called Competitive Enterprise Institute voted him the nation's worst attorney general. That's enough for me to fall head over heels.

2. I pulled for Dodd too.

I just hope he remains a voice of reason in the Senate.

7. Yeah, really

He did well in the debates he participated in. Nothing to be ashamed of.

3. A Lot of us here

want Chris Dodd as senate majority leader over Reid-who has turned into a wimp

5. I'd rather see him take over as Senate Majority Leader.

My concern with Dodd (as with Biden) in a cabinet post is that they then become part of the administration - and have to fall in line. Look at what Colin Powell did!

If they stay in the Senate, they can still call the President on his/her crap, which they wouldn't be able to do if they were working for him/her.

But I understand what you're saying. He would have made a great president -- his public service has been outstanding.

:hi:

6. I really liked Dodd as well

He was my #2 behind Obama. He's tough without being abrasive, smart, and in a Senate that hasn't been exactly stellar he's stood up for our constitutional rights. I'd love to see him replace Harry Reid as Majority Leader, although a place on the ticket would work for me :)
