Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.), a leading Democrat whose political star fell along with the nation's economy, is expected to announce Wednesday that he has decided against running for reelection this November, according to sources briefed on the decision. Dodd, in his fifth term, chairs the Senate Banking Committee. His retirement would be the second such announcement by a Senate Democrat in 24 hours; North Dakota's Byron Dorgan said Tuesday that he would not run this fall.

I’m thinking someone has more incriminating manure on him. If revealed, he’ll fall like the turd he is.
To resign, he can save face and become a lobbyist.
Peter Schiff is a Republican —
HE CAN WIN THIS.
Their campaign war chest loot they have should go to the homeless or sick kids or global warming or anything but their dirty pockets.
They all quit and parachute out with $5 million capaign war chest tax free plus huge pension and other benefits. Stinking vermin.
#31 money statement...
If the Pubs are smart they will run against Obiecare, Crap&Trade, Dingy Harry and Stretch Pelosi.
Has Blumenthal taken a public position on these issues? Seems like state AGs are now lining up to challenge Obiecare.
I don’t know about Blumenthal, but you’re right that several AG’s are in concert against Nebraska’s special deal.
LOL. Shall we start a pool for Reid’s retirement announcement?
It’s not based on anything other than not wanting to be there after they lose power. They know that they will lose.
What a wonderful way to go off to bed to dream of sugar plum fairies who dance in my head.
He is either under investigation, about to be indicted, or not man enough to fight fair (I know, not in the dems playbook) and lose.
A coward always runs from an honest fight.
Last thought:
I have to wonder if they have been “convinced” (maybe the Chicago Way) to step down so a more viable candidate can run against the GOP.
Very bad for us. We can’t win this seat (or at least, it becomes far harder) against a new, untainted Democrat nominee. We need Dodd to run.
Forgot to ping you to this. Not good for us. We need Dodd to run.
SMILING - YES!
good point. any other Republican in AK other than Stevens would have won and there wouldn’t be 60 votes.
Although, Stevens really got shafted as it turned out his whole trial was a sham. Of course they won’t redo the election or anything.
Exactly, LostInBayport.
This is a surprise to me, if true... methinks there's something sinister in the works here...
Skeeee-dadle!
Thanks for the ping!
More burned toast.
Dodd would do well in Tehran. Great spot for Pelosi as well. They’ll feel right at home among their allies.
A penny for your thoughts on this one... wow.
Agreed - Let’s write him and beg him to stay and run for re-election.
‘Rats abandoning a sinking ship?
Good riddance to one of the most corrupt, obnoxious, and all-around disgusting PsOS (Pieces of you know what) in American life!
