Democrats gave Dodd a big role in healthcare "reform" thinking that would rehabilitate his damaged image.....
There is even one laughable quote from Dodd stupidly saying he was getting "a whole new voter base" from his role in healthcare reform.
===============================================
Course I could be wrong (/snix), but this is probably what led to Dim Dodd's "decision" to quit.
Last July, Dodd proposed an amendment reducing aviation security appropriations by $4.5M in favor of firefighter grants (a move that enriched one of Dodd's financial backers). The federal money Dodd eliminated was specifically intended "for screening operations and for explosives detection systems."
AT THE TIME I POSTED THAT ITEM DEC 2009, MY ADVICE TO DODD WAS: "Dodd should pack his bags and leave now, before he's tarred and feathered and run out of DC on a rail."

Dodd is an elite in his criminal enterprise political party. What is astonishing is the voters in his state will be duped yet again to vote for his pick to follow in his criminal footsteps!
Mr. Dodd should be retiring from congress in order to serve prison time. As one the most corrupt DC gangsters and a primary cause of the entire meltdown with his financial law muddling.
