Time for the Op research. Wonder if as AG his office turned away requests for investigations into Dodd’s financial dealings.

Who is running for the GOP? Are they a credible candidate? We have Feingold up for re-election in November, and he is vulnerable, but so far no credible candidate has stepped forward to challenge him.

Yes, it sucks that Dodd is retiring, but this guy’s weak. Watch him here:

Here is Glenn Beck destroying Blumenthal over his prosecuting AIG execs for taling a bonus...

“Sir, what law did they break that allows you to go after them?”

Well, they (AIG execs) were undeserving of the bonuses.”

Here's a question: Why is Blumenthal refusing to answer whether or not he's been in talks with the White House about his run...?

Inquiring minds want to know :)

I think an Iraq veteran is also thinking of running on the Republican ticket. I recall hearing an interview with him on talk radio last month. I’m going to check further.

I am kind of wondering if the Dems are doing this strategically and paying these guys when they leave office $$$?

I think this is why they have been getting all over Rasmussen because their internal polls look just like this.

I hope Dodd eventually goes to jail.

How many liberal Jews do we need in the senate anywaw? They are massively over represented. Isn’t it time for them to move aside so that blacks and Latinos can represent themselves?

This is looking like a political version of this...

After the hearing, Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) visits Frank in custody. Hagen tells Frank that he did the right thing by recanting, and that if he accepts responsibility for turning on the Corleone family, Frank's own family will always be taken care of. He thanks Hagen, returns to his room, and commits suicide by slitting his wrists while taking a bath.

FWIW, I think it's very interesting that Blumenthal's unwilling to be upfront about the admin's involvement in this.

On the surface it's understandable since the White House has a dog in the hunt.

So why is Blumenthal refusing to discuss it? There's something there, all right...

I hope someone digs into that.

Inquiring minds could probably bet 80% of their next pay check that this is all a BIG set-up - and the voters in CT have been conned - and are sheepling their way to another libtard dim senator...dopes.

The WH is running the show, as if there is any doubt about that.

Even so, Blumenthal is a stiff and a hack. Running him still may not keep the seat Rat. I wouldn't be surprised if Blumenthal says there are “issues” he has with ObamaCare.

Watch for that trick: The kamikaze/sure loser Rats will vote for ObamaCare, while their WH handpicked replacements “question” it, making them look “moderate”.

The special election here in MA on January 19 will tell us a lot.

You're right.

So why is Blumenthal refusing to discuss the obvious?

That's the question.
