There's more Dodd-related goodness coming out of the Des Moines Register...
Senator Dodd has an op-ed titled "Restore our Constitution, U.S. standing in world." From the op-ed:
It starts with restoring America's security and standing in the world by ending the war in Iraq. It's not enough to wait until 2009 - that's why I've been at the front of the fight to set a firm deadline and end the funding for this failed policy. But if President Bush or this Congress does not end this war, then as the next president, I will immediately begin redeploying our troops safely and securely and finish the job within eight to 10 months. I will also strengthen our security with a return to diplomacy and engagement with the world.
Restoring our security and standing in the world also means restoring our adherence to the rule of law - so in my first hour I will restore our Constitution. The Constitution doesn't belong to one political party or candidate - it belongs to the American people.
I know Americans can't wait any longer for real results on health care. From the moment I am elected, I will bring together every stakeholder - workers, families, small businesses, Democrats and Republicans alike - and we will start the work of providing universal, affordable, quality health care to every American within four years.
I will bring that same leadership to the issue of global warming, with the boldest plan of any candidate to cut carbon emissions and invest in renewable energy. We can create a future where America relies not on the Middle East for our energy, but on the American Midwest and other regions - where our Heartland communities aren't left behind by our economy, but are the engine driving it.

Also, Senator Dodd and Jackie Clegg dodd visited the Iowa Homeless Youth Center on Wednesday - you can read about their visit and how they helped out in an article by the Register's Jason Clayworth.
Comments
I want to see more frequent use of the phrase
The force of our example, not the example of our force
For class I had to do a project that included the person that I thought would be the best President and the one that I thought would be the worse. After all the debates that I've heard and reading about you Mr.Dodd, I do believe that you are the man for the job and would make the best president. Right now, I myself, don't have any health insurance and could use it. The war in Iraq, needs to be over really soon, and in my opinion should have never been to begin with, way too many lives have been lost. I'm sorry that I can't support your campaign at this time; I'm worried about making it through Christmas. But I'm an American and I know that some how or some way I will survive. Do me a favor dodd, and show me that i made the right decision. Because you really are the man for the job. I'm ready for the new world.
Sincerely,
Christy Sparks
