One step ahead of the sheriff!
YES!! But I wonder what is the REAL reason.
Looks like all these dims are retiring thinking their PO’d sheeple voters will vote for their dim replacement rather than vote against the former dim himself ...
I’d make the party pay - no matter who the dims run.
Does this make anyone else sick to your stomach??
Looks like another crook is grabbing his loot and getting out of town, while the getting is good.
I’m not too sure this is as good a sign as we first thought. Are they fleeing because they know something is up, or coming, and want to keep what they have already stolen, while we get stuck with the bill?
What kind of trick is he up to now?
Misleading title; got my hopes up and everything - he still plans to infect the Capitol for another year...
Dodd can’t win. And the party knows it. That is why he is bagging it so early. NO doubt Rahmbo read him the riot act. The dems know they are in for a bad time in November and they are already looking to minimize their losses. They will likely retain Dodd’s seat. The party bosses in the north east rule with an iron fist. Dodd is of no use to them anymore and they know it. Bus meat Dodd.
“This has certainly been an interesting day in politics, with a significant number of Democratic elected officials announcing that they won’t seek reelection. Unlike the announcement from North Dakota and, to a slightly lesser extent, the announcement from Colorado (but perhaps more like the announcement from Michigan), this announcement may actually increase the Democrats’ chances to hold on to this seat. Still, tough to see Chris Dodd go. More as we hear it...”
One part of a waitress sandwich with Terdy Kennedy and people are actually sorry to see him go?
He77, I’ll buy him a drink but pass it thru my kidneys before I put it on his grave.
Dorgan, Dodd, who’s next? Nelson?
Dodd shouldn’t be retiring, he should be on his way to prison.
Dang! They’re droppin’ like flies over there on the ‘other side of the aisle’!! What’s up with that? They finally read the writing on the wall, LOL?!?
My guess is that Republican still pick up the seat; it demoralizes the Democrats; and this blumenthal figure has a tough time, even as he “isn’t Dodd”.
Soros has spoken, it shall be done.
Obama will throw everyone under the bus by the time he is done.
Who was it that said all politicians should serve two terms-one in office and one in prison.
I guess he figures he has given enough public service. /s Retirement isn’t good enough. He must do time.
C-Span is a national treasure. If it weren’t for C-Span the public would never get the full gist of how arrogant, illogical and peevish this current crop of Dem Senators are. Spend a day watching Conyers, Dodd, Waxman, Kerry, Frank, Reid, Schumer etc. and be astounded at the mendacious incompetence. Fortunately, a lot of them don’t look up to another term.
What would the Founding Fathers have done with this Traitor and criminal? These scum of political “class” retire quietly at the expense of the middle class they claim to champion. They are thieves who deserve no less then prison!
and don’t let the door..............(you know the rest)
