This has been asked, but are there any Dodd fans here? I like him,

[babylonsister]

too, but there's not much buzz.

[rockymountaindem]

1. I'd gladly vote for him

He seems like a good egg.

[Mojorabbit]

2. I am looking hard

at him myself. He does seem like a straight shooter and is big on upholding the constitution.

[Captain Hilts]

3. Hell yeah! nt

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. Fine man. He'd do well as Prez.

[Purveyor]

5. I was most impressed with Dodd in the last debate I watched. I could vote for him. eom

[rusty quoin]

6. Oh yeah, he's fine.

[mmonk]

7. I'm a fan of Dodd. He is showing leadership lately.

Though my efforts and contributions are centered on Richardson and Kucinich, I sent one to Dodd for his work trying to get habeas corpus restored. My mind would be at ease if he got the presidency. I would have no reservations about him.

8. Sure I like Dodd

However Isn't he the sen. from Conn? What did he do to help Ned Lamont? Allowing Lieberman to get elected is the shame of all those that didn't do enough. Including the Clintons, although none of that will keep me from voting for a dem., it's something to think about.

[Nutmegger]

10. He campaigned for LIARman during the primary.

We waited for him to support Lamont in the GE. He finally came around and did the right thing, and even did some TV ads for Lamont.

You're right, it's shameful. Those "Dems" who supported the LIARman deserve nothing but condemnation. We needed all the help we could get, that includes the Democratic Party.

[babylonsister]

12. Yes, he's the senator from CT who IS NOT Lieberman. nt

[tnlefty]

9. I respect and admire Sen. Dodd!

I've heard him during radio interviews while talking about his book, Letters from Nuremberg, and the role that his father had in setting up the Nuremberg Trials, and I didn't know this before! He's talking about how important the rule of law is, not just for us, but for all of humankind.

'I can't believe that Democrats running for office in 2007 would be running on defending the Constitution and the rule of law', he stated in one interview.

I respect him a great deal, but I really don't get into the "fan" or "hero" thingy, but if I did mine would be Dr. Helen Caldicott! :bounce:

I'd consider voting for him, as I respect the sacrifice his father made being away from home to set-up the trials, and the tremendous gratitude and respect that his father instilled in him for right and wrong, the rule of law, and respect for The Constitution. He seems to be a straight shooter. :hi:

[babylonsister]

13. I can't believe he said this:

'I can't believe that Democrats running for office in 2007 would be running on defending the Constitution and the rule of law', he stated in one interview. Link please.

[tnlefty]

19. He has said basically that very thing in 2 seperate interviews

on Ed Schultz's show. I'm not sure of if/how they handle recordings or transcripts from past shows, but I'll see what I can find.

[tnlefty]

20. I didn't find it at wegoted.com, but I googled and came up with

this which seems to be the longer version of a more condensed comment that he made. This was in an article on commondreams dated 8/31/06, after they had announced the American Freedom Campaign, and the author is praising Sen. Dodd for his remarks from the day before.

"It's a sad day when a presidential candidate actually has to talk about restoring the Constitution, but that's where we are after this administration's assault on the rule of law - an assault, by the way, that actually makes us less secure and more isolated by weakening our standing around the world. I have said repeatedly that if elected, the first thing I would do after being sworn in is to reverse as much of the damage done to the Constitution by President Bush as possible. And I would immediately do as much as I legally can by executive order."

During both interviews there was back and forth conversation between Sen. Dodd and Ed that dealt with democrats being concerned about this and not the republicans, etc.

11. I like Dodd...

He's not my primary choice, but if he got the nomination I would not hesitate in giving my full support.

[katmondoo]

14. I too would vote for him

He seems sane and reasonable, someone that I feel isn't trying to pull the wool over our eyes to get a vote.

[sniffa]

15. i Love him

not in a kucinich way, but he's probabLy my 2nd choice now.

[babylonsister]

17. 'not in a kucinich way' -

Ha! :thumbsup:

[LWolf]

16. While I don't discount the rest of his positions and record,

he actually lost my support for this race in the first debate I watched (which may not have been the FIRST; I don't remember.)

The question was about public education, and, if I recall, was not even addressed to him. He jumped in with a pro-NCLB rant about accountability that slammed the door on this educator's vote.

It disappointed me, as I was hoping he would give the "top tier" some good competition.

[Tom Rinaldo]

18. I like Dodd also.

I hope more people start considering him seriously.
