Something odd is happening to the permanent progressive majority that the U.S. was supposed to have elected 14 months ago: Its Members are announcing plans to leave Congress even before the voters get a chance to pass judgment on their liberal governance.
"This is my moment to step aside," Christopher Dodd said yesterday in front of the East Haddam, Connecticut home that he once financed with the help of Countrywide Financial. The 65-year-old, five-term Senator said his decision not to seek re-election was his own, but there's little doubt he was heading toward a well-earned defeat this fall amid personal scandal and an angry electorate unsettled by the Obama-Pelosi agenda.

A couple of true blue cowards but I fear they are far from done damaging this country and enrich themselves even more...

they're up to something. are these guys holding out for incentives for obama's slush (aka "tarp") fund?
Nothing like going out as a flaming disgrace, Dodd.

The moment McCain lost the democrats were doomed. It's a huge irony considering the ‘McCain wins or we all Die’ atmosphere and the election loss mourning 14 months ago here,as well as the liberal celebrating which is over, they are crying now. I told you all this would happen again, ala 1993.
GOP_Lady, Didnt I see you at a Romney post??

The Progressive Movement is collapsing before our eyes yet many on the right think they are on the rise. This article proves the progressives are in panic mode. I love it ....

I wish, but nope, go browse through the main page; They’re moving with lightning speed on many fronts. All the wrong fronts, but they’re stripping this country down to nothing.

“...the Democrats’ 60-seat Senate majority IS a fleeting historical accident.”
Hope & Change we can believe in! :)
If the dopes currently running the GOP screw up this no-brainer come this fall, I’m going to have to become a Libertarian...or better yet join Todd Palin as an Independent. ;)
