1. Of course not. we need his seat.

[chimpymustgo]

2. We need someone working for US in Dodd's - and most other - Senate seats. Dodd is toast.

[Pryderi]

3. Let another Dem win. n/t

[Pryderi]

4. Dodd's reputation is in the crapper and will lose to a Republican.

He's in the pocket of credit card companies and big business. He's lost his way and should retire.

5. First thing you need to do is pass that damn law to plug the "Holy Joe" loophole

Ned Lamont would be the other senator from CT right now, if that state had a law (as many others do) that the loser of a primary cannot "change parties" and run for the same seat in the General election that same year.

If Dodd has a primary opponent in his next election, and loses, you don't want him joining the non existent "Lieberman Dodd for Connecticut" party, do you?

[Pryderi]

6. I don't know if you can ever close that loophole. It's anti-democratic. n/t

[RB TexLa]

8. Agreed.

7. Majority of DUers say Dodd should resign. n/t
