So do Dodd, Biden, and Richardson drop out now? I really feel bad for Joe Biden
He's a good man. And didn't deserve this.


Governor Bill Richardson : 2.11%
Senator Joe Biden : 0.94%
Uncommitted : 0.13%
Senator Chris Dodd : 0.02%

5. I thought Biden said that if he didn't get at least third
He was done.

6. I guess he decided to go until the $ ran out instead of pocketing the money.

9. I'm not much of an absolutist, but I will say it: Campaign Finance is THE most
basic issue there is.

11. I think Dodd will endorse Hillary in the coming days
She seems like the establishment type of candidate he would back and I think they have worked closely in the senate. She could get a boost, being that he's from a nearby state and has decent experience of his own.

To Hillary's credit, her speech was pretty gracious. I'll still vote for her over any of those batshit republican freaks if she gets the nomination.

12. He's a classy guy and I hope he'll be the next Democratic administration's
point man as Secretary of State. It would go aways towards repairing our international image while we relearn the art of diplomacy. And I hope Dodd gets Senate Majority Leader.

13. One of the absurdities of the Caucus system
It is designed to narrow the field. Another reason why Iowa first SUCKS.
