Personally, I (speaking as a Democrat) do not want Hillary to win. Conservates deserve to have her win (considering what they let Bush get away with) but I'd rather see Dodd win.

Post #295,085 by Another Scott 10/24/07 10:28:45 PM Reply	Why Dodd? I've been a little surprised by how little traction Sens. Dodd and Biden have received thus far. Well, not really I guess. All the press seems to care about is how much money they've raised ("Because money is an objective measure..." they say.)... Why do you like Dodd? Cheers, Scott.
Post #295,124 by Simon_Jester 10/25/07 10:51:30 PM Reply	Dodd recently vowed to fight against the telecom immunity bill. He's placed a hold on it and (at least said) he would filibuster it. (It'll be meaningless in the end, as I expect Bush to pardon the execs...but at least he isn't willing to rollover...and is at least willing to give the appearance of a fight.)
Post #295,127 by Another Scott 10/25/07 11:07:15 PM Reply	That was good. I respect him for that, and I've wondered why the Democrats haven't used the rules of the House and Senate to control the legislative agenda the way the Republicans did when they had razor thin majority... :-/ There's a related petition mentioned in [link\|http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/privatizing-constitution-by-digby.html\|this] article on the immunity provision by Digby. I don't know enough about Dodd to rule him in or out. It'll be interesting to see how Reid handles it. I doubt Bush will pardon the telecoms folks - how can he? It would either be so broad that it would cover anything, or he would have to be specific and thus give up information he's trying to keep secret. But we'll see. Thanks. Cheers, Scott.
