CT, RI and Obama (4.00 / 1)

Polls suggest that Obama is still behind in the March 4 Rhode Island primary.  Some CT supporters are organizing support in local events.  There is more going on in Rhode Island.

Rhode Island (0.00 / 0)

Ironically perhaps, tiny Rhode Island looks to be the most difficult nut for Obama to crack on March 4th. Obama was endorsed by Lincoln Chafee recently but his successor Sheldon Whitehouse has been in Hillary Clinton's camp for nearly a year.

Dodd's Endorsement (4.00 / 1)

Dear Jonathan,

We have been through a lot in this past year and your friendship and support have meant so much to me.  That is why I wanted to let you know of my decision to endorse a Democratic candidate for President - and that I have decided to support Barack Obama.

We all understand how much is at stake in this election and that it is more important than ever that we put a Democrat in the White House.

And while both of our Party's remaining candidates are extremely talented and would make excellent commanders-in-chief, I am throwing my support to the candidate who I believe will open the most eyes to our shared Democratic vision.

I'm deeply proud to be the first 2008 Democratic presidential candidate to endorse Barack Obama.  He is ready to be President.  And I am ready to support him - to work with him and for him and help elect him our 44th President.

Put simply, I believe Barack Obama is uniquely qualified to help us face this housing crisis, create good jobs, strengthen America's families in this 21st century global economy, unite the world against terrorism and end the war in Iraq - and perhaps most importantly, call the American people to shared service and sacrifice.  In this campaign, he has drawn millions of voters into politics for the first time in their lives and shown us that we are united by so much more than that which divides us.

That is why I believe the time has come for Democrats to come together as a Party and focus on winning the general election.  The stakes are too high not to.

The last seven years have been as difficult as any I can remember. More than ever, we need a President who will inspire us to take part in the political process and change our country's path.

Today, when we need it most, we are hearing a new call from Barack Obama.  And I hope you, like me, will answer it in the affirmative.

Please get involved in Barack Obama's campaign now: http://action.barackobama.com/...

Sincerely,

Chris Dodd

A nod from Dodd at the right time (4.00 / 1)

Senator Dodd does the right thing here and at the right time. Waiting until after the TX, OH primaries is the safe thing to do. But by giving his endorsement now, Dodd is committing to Obama, not just jumping on the bandwagon.

Dodd is trying to keep the Dems together (4.00 / 1)

I haven't been as informed about the Democratic primary campaign lately. But from the 'bits and pieces' I have gathered from the media and the internetz, I get the impression that our senator Dodd wants to make sure the party does not fracture now and in the general.

Bottomline, there is no need to give free ammo to the GOP, when they will have plenty of time to dig up (or make up dirt) between now and November. Other bottomline, Hillary's campaign is f*cked!

donuts (4.00 / 1)

Saw on the tubes this morning a report that the Dodd campaign was second to Clinton in the amount spent on donuts (I believe the category on the financial disclosures was "baked goods"). Must be a northeast thing, you can't go five blocks without hitting a Dunkin Donuts in NE/NY.
