The top Senate Democrat yesterday defended a colleague's assertion that Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Klansman, would have been a great leader during the Civil War.
Sen. Tom Daschle said there was "no parallel" between Sen. Christopher J. Dodd's praise of Mr. Byrd and Republican Sen. Trent Lott's praise of former segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond.

Those are really good points. The only way we are going to get conservatives in some of these seats eventually is have them in Congress first. I will take Shays over Dodd any day, but then I would take almost anyone over Dodd! I like the idea of replacing Shays in the House with a more conservative member!

Unfortunately, Connecticut elects only 'Rats or RINO's. I hear that Orchulli has vast personal wealth to spend from. If so, perhaps he'll spend from that wealth to make himself a real contender. I certainly hope so, cause Dodd is the embodiment of the inside-the-beltway type.

Why is it that the rules don't apply to liberals?

OH BULL! Dodd was just a direct...a Senator for the Civil War era? Come on.

I wonder if he took part in any lynchings.
