Bad news - Dodd would have been an easy pickup. Oh well, the Repubs are not going to win the Senate - we need to focus on the House.

These are strategic resignations. They want to clear the ballott for a new “hopey change” Rat to win against a GOP bad guy. The old Rats will just now work as lobbyists and make a mill a month...plus all the booze they can swill.
They will be paid off big time by all the Rat donors.

Sen. Chris Dodd (D)to step aside.

Two down, 56 to go. Dodd was one of the worse, he helped tank the economy by making banks give mortgages to folks who had no likelihood of making the payments and he had the FHA, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac buy all the bogus paper so the taxpayers were on the hook for the defaults.

Not necessarily. If the Pubs are smart they will run against Obiecare, Crap&Trade and Dingy Harry. Has Blumenthal taken a public position on these issues?

But.... don't worry. This PIG, too, will vote Yes on Health Care reform and then line up on K Street for the lobbying goodies. Whores, all. He should resign now WITHOUT VOTING...

Hmm.. The rats are remobilizing, hoping to put up no-name rats who they believe have a better shot at winning than the incumbent rats. On the one hand, this doesn’t say much for the rats’ performance lately, but on the other hand there is no underestimating the stupidity of the ignorant chattering class who might actually believe the new rat is an improvement over the old rat.

Can the rat bastard still be tried for his crimes once out of office?

HELLO ! WASHINGTON POST LEFT OUT AN IMPORTANT SOMEONE . . . . . surprise, surprise, surprise.

Peter Schiff is running for Dodd’s seat. If you don’t know who he is, you should ! He was the only one who predicted this entire mess in 2006 and he was laughed at. Watch his youtube channel.

I’m not so sure....how is any RAT candidate going to be able to run away from what this congress has done? The DNC isn’t going to give them $$ to run on an anti-administration, anti-congress platform. If the GOPers put up any kind of decent, low tax, pro-life, small government candidates they should win.

What does he care? He will take his millions and in 1-3 years, become a respected mouthpiece for the progressive movement and make even more $$$.

That’s the way politics works these days, my friends...

I just donated (again) to Peter Schiff. He mentioned a few weeks ago on his podcast that he gets the most donations from California. Amazing.
