Dodd's stock with voters began dropping before AIG

Howard Rosenblatt voted for U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd five years ago. He won't do that again. "It's time for Chris to resign," said the 62-year-old owner of Rosenblatt's department store in Naugatuck, Conn., a working-class borough of more than 30,000. "He sits on the Senate banking commission, and he had his hands on funny money loans."

Earl Reilly, a 59-year-old factory worker from Naugatuck, shares Rosenblatt's anger with the state's senior senator.

"Don't get me started on Dodd," he said. "He's been doing the job too long, and he's got a hole in his canoe and it's sinking."

While Dodd, 64, has only recently found himself in the nation's political hot seat because of his role in the AIG bonus debacle, it has become clear that his issues with voters back home have been festering for two years. The AIG controversy appears to have exacerbated his popularity problems.

Dodd is partially responsible for the mess we are in, too. He is self-serving and repulsive. It would be a Godsend if Connecticut would just get rid of him so the rest of us don't have to suffer with him anymore.

How the voters in that state can keep electing this moron time after time is incredible. The voters of that state must be complete idiots, zombies and retards.

Dodd is only 64? He looks much older to me.

He reminds me of a bloated lizard.

Most states have their own dumb ass(es) they keep reelecting. I can't throw any stones, I live in Illinois, the state that gave us Barak 0bama.

Congress has too many crooks now, even to count them all. It is no wonder that our nation is going to hell.

It’s pretty pitiful that folks have to be clubbed nearly to death before they realize they’re being beaten. I would be humiliated to have it known that I voted for a known POS. Dammit people, look at who your trusting with your future before pulling that lever.

Not all of us. Our forefathers kept The US Constitution in an oak tree here and we are having tea parties too.

Dodd won't go away because there are too many bussed-in city folk voters who don't have a clue, are gullible and ignorant of the basic foundation of America.
