6. There's so much wrong with your post.
I don't see the Clinton people worried about it. Besides that, Dodd is a great Democrat and added a lot to the debate. He is a principled senator who should be Senate majority leader. So reassess your flame for a minute.

This is right up there with a member of Hillary's team comparing Kerry's endorsement to "chicken poop."


The clueless campaign slogs on.

9. America didn't ever hear his message
Obama and Hillary were the only two candidates to get a full hearing in the media. And the only one Americans have been rejecting is Hillary considering the huge advantage she started off with.

10. Dodd has been sticking up for YOU and me in the U.S.
Senate, so your contempt for him is revolting. But you should worry. Dodd is a SD. He's a prominent member of Congress. He's well respected by his colleagues, and he opens the door for them to go for Obama that much more. So worry, because hilly is done.

11. I'm not worried
It is of no consequence the Dodd Endorsement.

Edwards and Gore are the only two big endorsers left that may have some impact but its getting late.

including you.

13. Yes, but perhaps 90% of Democrats respect Dodd and may have considered
voting for him. He was one of my top choices but not my first. I still have a great deal of respect and admiration for him.

Chris Dodd is a fine man and a first rate senator. He is no failure, you on the other hand failed to do your homework.

Every time I peek back in here there's another silly post like this.

I've seen all the proof I need, today alone, to prove how both sides have about the same number of posters here who are out to do no more than provoke those who support their opposition.

It's like trying not look at a train wreck. I know it's going to be ugly but I still can't help but look.

30. Well, basically any caucus. And any state with open primaries.
And any state with a lot of educated professionals. Or black people. Or young people.

But you run with whatever gets you through the night on it.

35. He's a party elder.
He, along with Al Gore, Biden, Richardson (with the exception of Edwards since he's not really a Deomcratic heavyweight) can twist arms and apply pressure to the Clinton campaign, probably through Bill, and the other superdelegates.

When they speak, people will listen and it will be over.

like everyone or every state that doesn't support Hillary, no wonder she is being defeated.
