Senator Chris Dodd. He’s such a…rebel. If he was standing next to Howie Mandel instead of sitting next to Mrs. Greenspan, he’d shout “No deal!” Then he might rip his shirt or something.
“I didn’t come here, spend a year campaigning in Iowa, working, and expect that the people who’ve committed themselves to me to turn around, at my behest, and support someone else. They’ve made a decision to be for me and I’m grateful to them for that.”
If only Dodd had spent $1.8 billion on campaigning in Iowa, he wouldn’t have to answer such insulting questions.

So that’s where you’ve been. Mrs. Dodd’s been looking for you. Time to go home.

Good for him - even if he is a creep.

NO Please leave him go. (ct resident here)

Not a bad answer at all. “It’s their business, not my business”. That was impressive.

He’ll go back to hanging out at the casinos anyways, schmoozing with the faux “natives.”

He’s an intelligent guy. Gotta give him that. Even Presidential.

In the immortal words of DEVO,

He was responding to the actions of Dennis Kucinich, who told his supporters to support Obama when he doesn’t receive the requisite 15% in the caucuses.
Dodd thought that it was an insult for a candidate to do such a thing, and I agree. Kucinich has basically sold out to Obama, and possibly, a little quid-pro-quo is in order. Imagine that your candidate gave up for a deal with another candidate. These people have been supporting Kucinich for a long time and faced the risk of losing face for supporting a ‘loony-toon.’
It’s too bad, because no matter how crazy people think Kucinich is, I always thought he was a principled individual, but now that he’s sold out, maybe he isn’t.
Dodd is 100% correct.

Won’t be long now and we’ll finally know who 100,000 folks from Iowa think should be our next president.
Who cares?
Nobody but Iowans, who get $50-60 million kicked into their economy for their caw-caw caucus.

He may look presidential, but he spent the eighties being a traitor to our country by aiding the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, just as he wants to aid our muslim enemies now.

The only thing more pathetic than a 60 year old person who tries to make him or herself out to be 23, is one who is completely unaware of how ridiculous he or she looks. Mrs. Greenspan, you look ridiculous.
Senator Dodd, on the other hand, strikes a very clear note on the absurd Iowa circle jerk for 150,000 bitter partisans.

Gotta love Iowa, no secret ballot and people can vote twice. It’s a Democrat wetdream.
