I gave dodd a couple of bucks, and will be volunteering for his campaign in PA.

Yes, i hate the Democrat Party, but Dodd just established himself as a member if the DemocratIC Party.  And those people get my support.
YAY DODD!!

John Mccain Called his wife WHAT??

I pegged Dodd as the best candidate ideologicially a long time ago, and that was simply because he is an old-school liberal.

But it's not all roses.  Almost all of his money is coming from financial services because he chairs the Banking Committee.  

And Edwards and Obama still are far more viable.

to my mind, the FISA bill is worth a couple of days of shoe leather and a few bucks.  I'm not signing up to be a field manager or anything.

I'm certainly not saying it's all roses, but I did a bit of searching and from what i see, Chair of Banking or no, the guy's record is pretty OK.  For example, Dodd opposed the loathsome bankruptcy bill of 2005: another perk if you ask me.

Both the action he took, and the fact that he responded to people's wishes, are impressive.

there's nothing wrong with being in charge of banking.  I'm glad to have him in charge of banking.  Look at Baucus on Finance.  We need that like a whole in the head.

 i like dodd too because he is an old time liberal. which is exactly what we need over the next 5-10 years to recover from the last 27 years of reaganism and neo-conjobbers. he may not have a chance for the nomination, but he sure has my support on this issue. glad to hear about the hold which hopefully will hold, as i read that reid said he wasn't going to allow it.

i'll take edwards, realistically, progressive enough for me on many issues and he's talking this two america's idea, which is good.
