to the tune of "Log" (of Ren and Stimpy fame) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPHtKarae2Q

Dodd's 5'4"
He was in the Peace Corps
He worships a christian god

His eyebrows aren't waxed
They just look like that
It's Dodd! Dodd! Dodd!

It's Dodd, Dodd
He's short, he's stout, he's white
It's Dodd, Dodd
He's better than bad, he's alright

Everyone wants a Dodd

You're gonna love a Dodd

It's Dodd! Dodd! Dodd!

TM: Dodd from Connecticut.

2. Dodd is for unions- you won't hear any Repubs speaking for

union organization. There was a time when workers had benefit of union representation; that time brought job security and fair living wages. Ecomomically the country was more stable, inflation was in check, the middle class existed and flourished.

3. Dodd's a good man... and he talks like he's thought

alot about this issue and could talk more at length if our media wasn't just looking for a sound byte.

4. Didn't seem sincere on an important issue

When asked about what he would do about the working poor in our country, Dodd seemed like he was kind of uncomfortable answering the question. He didn't seem very sincere in his answer. That makes me wonder, "What if, elected president, he doesn't do what he said he would do?" - which is a frightening and disheartening thought.

5. Really? I thought he appeared VERY sincere and

had given it a good deal of thought. He offered steps to spread out the costs of raising the minimum wage and offering tax credits across a larger group of people.

Dodd has a good record of walking the walk. Like the others, he hasn't always made the right choice in retrospect, but I do trust him and believe him to be a man of integrity. If elected, I think he would be a thoughtful and compassionate president.

Not sure he's my candidate yet - but he is on my short list.

6. k & r

No doubt at all that Dodd would be one of our great presidents.

8. I agree. nt

[Mark D.]

7. Dodd / Biden or Biden / Dodd

Or Dodd / Kucinich. You get the idea. There are only 3 candidates who
really will break the cycle of corporate ownership of politics, and also a
war/debt based system. Those are the three, any combination will work.

9. Hey Mark D --

I think I've already said 'hey', but if not, Welcome to DU! :hi: Good to have you here (and not just because I'm in agreement with your assessment).
