Chris Dodd has has a pretty bad 18 months,With each day Senator Chris Dodd's hold on the Senate seat he has held for almost 30 years grows more tenuous. As the Chair of the Senate Banking committee he deserves a share of of the blame for the economic mess we are in now, on top of that, are the recent scandals in which he has been involved.
...At the same time all of these scandals have been happening, Chris Dodd has been the dutiful democrat, pushing through the Porkulus and a key player on healthcare. The problem is that Connecticut voters are not stupid, and they also don't like to be lied to. Additionally, Connecticut is home to many insurance companies, Dodd's health care plans may be a death knell to a major industry in his home state further alienating voters from the Senator.
So it leads to a key question. Is Chris Dodd going to throw his hat in the ring, or retire to that nice cottage in Ireland, that he bought with a "Special Loan?"

Sounds like a New Jersey trick to me.
If Dodd is doing as poorly as they say, or is about to retire, you certainly can’t blame the Republicans who had the perfect opportunity to hang (and rightly so) much of this banking mess around his neck and the neck of Barney Fwank, and haven’t even bothered trying. No fight in the GOP.
I hope they all retire in shame and move out of the country before the treason trials start.
You can’t fire me I quit.
I think he’ll be retired by the voters.
The best possible outcome, for his state and for our country, would be for him to retire involuntarily.
He could go and make waitress sandwiches in hell with Teddy...
You mean the Donks are going to try a Toricelli Switch?
We recently bought a home at 5% interest. I’m sure Dodd got a better deal with his *FOA loan.

Voters 'COUNTRYWIDE' want to know. (and FRiends of Angelo too)
sure..and they’ll get away with it too because the news won’t look too close..with the exception of Fox News.
“I hope they all retire in shame and move out of the country before the treason trials start.’
As nice as treason trials may sound it ain’t going to happen! It is like spittin against the wind!
Nothing could be easier for Rahm Emanuel... just a few phone calls.
Buh, Bye Friend of Angelo!
Based on those eyebrows; we are in for a COLD winter...
“Based on those eyebrows; we are in for a COLD winter...”
The fuzzy head is also predictive of cold winters.
My theory is........ that looking at democRATS who have retired? but gone on to other things...I think that these people know that the govenment will be gone if they get their way and therefore the Congress will be irrelavant and they are already planning for the “cushy” positions in the new regime that are promised and could care less about any elections in the future.
Worst part is that B of A is so bad they make Countrywide look good
