ap.google.com— He filibustered telecom immunity, and now he's supporting Obama. His progressive credintials will likely give Obama a bigger boost coming into the March 4th primaries and caucuses.

In my opinion, last minute endorsements typically mean less than early endorsements (Such as Oprah's early endorsement of Obama)Anybody can give an endorsement of a popular candidate, but it takes real balls to endorse somebody before they become popular.I'm making an exception for Dodd being a late endorsement since he was once competing against Obama.
What is wrong with being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations? It's a well-respected, non-partisan, independent think tank that has been in existence since 1921. Seriously, I'd like a coherent explanation of just what your problem is with the CFR and how you determined that Obama was a member.
If Dodd had or will spend more time on state issues rather than national issues perhaps he would be more popular. Perhaps if he spend more time being a senator and occasionally showing up for work he'd be more popular. Perhaps. I'd support him for VP, it would open up the slot for someone who might work for Connecticut.

Oh right, and to help the nominee get elected of course.

This shoot shoot a pretty huge hole in Hillary's argument that he's not qualified to be Commander In Chief!

I'm no Hillary fan but I hadn't even heard of Wal-Mar in '90.

If Obama wins, then the "Deep Long Recession" will be real. Civil liberties will take a back seat.

Surprisingly Senator Dodd is much more popular on the National level then here in Connecticut. I've never had a problem with him and am real happy he's supporting Barack, but he really isn't that popular with Nutmeggers<a class="user" href="http://xn--ugb6bax.xn----ymcae0df5a6fo.com/">http://xn--ugb6bax.xn----ymcae0df5a6fo.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://xn----ymcae0df5a6fo.com/">http://xn----ymcae0df5a6fo.com/</a>

Dodd is such a badass. I am very glad he has backed Obama.<a class="user" href="http://quitsmokingclub.org">http://quitsmokingclub.org</a>
