    A waste of time and money. This is the same guy who introduced/spoke for Holy Joe Lieberman at last weekend's CT Dem. convention, where Holy Joe got all but read out of the party for sucking up to the Repubs. Birds of a feather.

    Compared to any Republicans, he would be great; otherwise, nope.

    Scribe - Make that the far Left Wing of the party. And the Repubs? They fell down in thanks for the attack on Lieberman and went home laughing.

    I think Dodd will be welcomed by the other candidates. He will make them all look better. Dodd sadly is a fixture of the kind of democratic party politics that have brought failure and stagnation.

    Feingold and Obama are the only two i would consider at this point. If Hillary runs I will most likely vote for "other".

    Barack Obama is a DLC consort. That means his policy is Hillary's policy. There's no difference, except his appearance and delivery. Unfortunately, Americans - Republicans and Democrats alike - are silly enough to care more about the inflection of tone and appearance of the individual over the ACTUAL POLICIES they support. Anyone that had any sense wouldn't care if Stephen Hawking and his electronic synthesizer became President, so long as HIS POLICIES were correct. Feingold's voting record isn't similar to Obama's nor any of the other DLC acolytes.

    Wish that were true but we are animals and primitive at our core, hence we do need someone that is a natural leader as our president. It works out best when one who has leadership qualities also has good policies. Usually though, the policy wonks are in the background while the leader is, well, leading.

    "far Left wing of the party" It only looks like the far Left from the far Right.

    "We are animals and primitive at our core." Well maybe we can at least move up from snake, to say, orangutan?
