12. Yes, the nature of US politics
Reminds me more of Gulliver's Travels every election.

13. That's too bad. He was my second choice.
Congratulations to Chris Dodd on doing his best to deserve to win with his actions in the senate, and I hope he will carry on.

Chris Dodd for Majority Leader!

26. I could definitely get behind that
Dodd lost that job to Daschle by one vote a few years back. I think we'd be much better off today if that had gone another way.

19. And a fine man bows out
I am sorry that Chris didnt get more traction. I think had he run last time arround he would have done much better. It was a full field this time with many stars all compteting for the votes. I think he would have made a fine president. There will be other fine candidates dropping out before this is over. Our field is strong this time and we have many fine people running. My heart will break a little for every one of them.
