Hey BH, greetings from Washington state. Thought I would post this since you all probably know people in Connecticut, and I know there is an important statewide race coming up in NH soon. Not that you guys need any help hyping Chris Dodd. Part 1 Sen. Chris Dodd’s (D-Conn.) decision to support full marriage equality [...]

Chris Dodd for Marriage Equality
Chris Dodd’s turnaround on marriage equality has resulted in one of the most eloquent releases I’ve ever read. It’s worth reading in full, but here are some highlights: Public officials aren’t supposed to change their minds. But I firmly believe that it’s important to keep learning. …While I’ve long been for extending every benefit of [...]

John McCain and New Hampshire aren’t having a love affair. Maybe John McCain loves New Hampshire, and that’s nice — after all, he did receive enough Republican votes here in 2000 and 2008 to keep his campaigns going in those years. But it’s simply not true that New Hampshire loves this guy, although I think [...]
“Willing Co-Conspirators.” Today’s “Friend of Terrorists”?
In St. John McCain’s world, everyone who doesn’t follow his changing-by-the-minute economic plan is an evildoer. Today’s villains in McCain’s Manichean campaign world include Chris Dodd: During a town hall in Wisconsin on Thursday, McCain called Senate Banking Chairman Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.) and House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (Mass.) “willing co-conspirators” in the [...]
Doddmania Returns
Senate Banking Committee chairman Chris Dodd pushes back against this eleventh hour CEO binge: “What they have sent to us, this is not acceptable,” said Dodd. “This is not going to work.” “They’re going to have to come back and work with us,” said Dodd. The ranking Republican on the Banking Committee, Senator Richard Shelby, [...]
Dodd Makes it into Veepstakes; Biden, Not So Much
Despite the Countrywide “scandal”, Doddmania has reached official vetting status: The former White House hopeful and Connecticut lawmaker indicated Wednesday that he has been approached by the campaign. “There’s been some inquiries, yeah,” Dodd said. “They ask for a lot of stuff. I’ll leave it there.” I still think it’s highly unlikely, but there we [...]
Not So Much Into Ending the War After All
So Jim McConaha has decided to be a co-chair of “New Hampshire Democrats for McCain.” Back when the Democrat supported Chris Dodd, he had this to say: But what I want most in the next president is someone who will end the war – the war in Iraq and the war in Washington. I know [...]
Dodd on FISA: “How will We be Judged?”
Part of Dodd’s speech last night on FISA. Full text here: Update: Looks like the fight to strip the executive branch of excessive power will not be joined by the likely next executive. That, in and of itself, is a major disappointment. But the spin is even worse than that: My view on FISA has [...]
Let Me Be Proud To Stand With You, Senator Obama
This is part of what Barack Obama said when Chris Dodd, the candidate I endorsed, endorsed him (boldface mine): We know it’s time to time to restore our Constitution and the rule of law. This is an issue that was at the heart of Senator Dodd’s candidacy, and I share his passion for restoring the [...]
Discussion: Is it Profitable for the Race to Go On?
“So while I fully respect the right of people to stay in a race and to test and challenge- at some point here national leadership has to step up and say, enough is enough. And candidly, an awful lot of democrats, even those who are supporting Hillary Clinton in this case are beginning to get [...]
