2007-02-20 Home Front: Politix

A new poll released Monday shows Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., as a distant fourth in a Democratic primary match-up in his home state. The Quinnipiac University poll shows Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., leading Democrats with 33 percent. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is in second with 21 percent, leaving Dodd with 8 percent, trailing former Vice President Al Gore who came in third with 9 percent.

The poor showing for Dodd would not seem to bode well for his White House aspirations. If Sen. Christopher Dodd can't even come close to winning a Democratic primary in his home state, that's obviously a bad sign for his presidential campaign, said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz.

#5 Gore isn't even running.

Does anyone have a clue as to why Dodd thinks he's got a chance? People like Kucinich are nuts, so that covers that side of the pack, and people like Sharpton and Nader are hunting for matching funds or political donations in general, so that covers them. The people I can't figure are the ones like Dodd who actually have a use for campaign funds other than maintaining their metaphorical fat asses in the perpetual campaign lifestyle.

#6 I think Dodd is running because he knows the other candidates and can't believe any of those dung beatles could ever be president. In fact, Dodd and the other white male democrat leaders must be ROFLTAO day after day.
