"Sen. Christopher Dodd said Monday that he is gearing up for a possible run for president, announcing plans to travel the country, raise money and hire staff in an effort to garner support."
skip paras because the B Globe does not belive in free speech]
He said "he is considering a run for president because constituents are telling him that the country is going in the wrong direction and politicians often seem blind to their concerns.
"'Families are under incredible pressure,' he said. 'They're working less and paying more. There's a sense the challenges they face are unprecedented.'"

His chances...
Slim and None.
And Slim just left town.
The more money Democrats can waste the better.
Does he hope to get half the waitress vote?
Go Dodd Go!
And to think: I didn't think they could come up with a candidate worse then Kerry or Dean!
I was wrong!
*yawn*
'They're working less and paying more.
I don't get this statement...maybe they should work more? I am just going to put this up as a weird statement that I don't understand.
Christopher Dodd - If I recall, he was one of the RINO sellouts during the Clinton impeachment phase!
Mea culpa - I had him confused with someone else. Good - I say let him run against Hillary! Go for it!
Its always amazes me that boring and Uncharismatic guys from the Senate think that the Country is going to really consider them for President.
I know, I was laughing at that myself. With <5% unemployment. Who's working less? I wonder if Dodd voted for the 1990 (?) "Luxury Tax Bill." That certainly made people (shipbuilders) in his state work less and pay more, ha ha ha.
"Christopher Dodd - If I recall, he was one of the RINO sellouts during the Clinton impeachment phase!"
On FR nearly everybody gets called a "RINO" eventually.
Even a democrat like Dodd!!
I don't even think Dodd could get Kennedy to vote for him - just for old times sake.
Dodd isn't a RINO. He is a full fledge communist sympathizer in the Dimocrat party.
"Dodd isn't a RINO. He is a full fledge communist sympathizer in the Dimocrat party."
Well said. The dims are desperate for someone "new" to add to their growing collection of dwarves for 08. They are hoping one of their neoMarxists "sticks" when they sling him up against the wall.
Remember the old saying, "like Father, like son"....
I can see thru this..... the dbm is running this idea thinking that even hillary would be better choice.
I think Gore was last week now this week is Dodd. I wonder who next week will be ..........
Not Kerry, he'll stay in until he's dragged out kicking and screaming like the spoiled rich kid he is
Chris Dodd running for president?
He's the only Dim in the Senate fatter than New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Maybe they should get Jenny Craig to sponsor their run.
