Frankly, I don't think Dodd has a chance.

1. It seems that the mediocre B-list is getting an early start

Vilsak
Biden
Dodd
Daschle

[snowbear]

10. That's YOUR list rpannier..

Mine looks more like:

Clark
Richardson
Edwards
Obama



Note: I'd add Gore, but he keeps insisting there's no way he's running.. :shrug:

[NOLADEM]

2. Boy, the Chimp really has lowered the bar

EVERYONE thinks they can be president now.

[JABBS]

3. LOL

4. Dodd has been a strong Democrat for many years, unlike

his colleague from Connecticut. While not known outside of New England he is principaled and would make a good president. He is not the charismatic type though and probably will not gain much traction outside the NE and CT.

Don't try and classify him as a chimp or chimplike.

5. I'm sure this will get a great response from people, especially since announcing his run for

president will likely be the first time anyone heard about him.

seriously, this is just more evidence that the Senate is made up of 10 working members and 90 presidential aspirants.

at least Kerry did the BCCI stuff; hell, I even learned about that in high school.

8. announcing his run for president will likely be the first time anyone heard about hiim ...

LOL

He's Captain Vanilla. His only hope is that Kerry doesn't run, and he can sneak in and steal the NH primary.

6. Just what we need, another old white male from the Northeast with no charisma

While I prefer Dodd over Lieberman, Dodd has no constituency outside of CT. He hasn't been challenged in an election in CT for years and will find the competitiveness of a wide open Prez primary daunting.

7. It must be the water in D.C.

that all those Senators are drinking.

:crazy:

[skipos]

9. Some more good non-senators from flippable red states would be nice.

I like Dodd though.

13. Edwards-Warner

Two swing states, that we want to move from the red column. Neither is currently a Senator. Both would have high appeal to independents.

It worked in 1992, it can work again.

16. Edwards wouldn't have won a re-election bid for Senate in

NC, admittedly, according to polls.

How do you expect him to flip NC?

[JABBS]

17. times have changed

I'd be happy if an Edwards/Warner ticket were able to win some combination of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana. Any two of those would be just fine.

[Thrill]

11. Senators won't win

Give it up

[jefferson_dem]

15. Supposing it's Obama (or heaven fobid...Hill) vs. McCain in '08, we will see the first Sen since

JFK to be elected POTUS.

12. Mull away Chris. You are a good guy but it ain't happening.

14. PLEASE save your self Dodd you have NO!!! chance
