Chris Dodd for President

I was very happy to get to talk to Bob Geiger, a blogger who focuses his extensive efforts on covering the US Senate, about Senator Dodd's campaign. Geiger shares his thoughts about Senator Dodd's leadership to restore habeas corpus and end the Iraq War in the video clip below.

Matt Stoller of mattstoller.com (formerly MyDD) answers my slightly loaded question about what how he thinks Chris Dodd is succeeding on leading on issues Democrats care about and growing support for his campaign.

Next up in my series of bloggers talking about Chris Dodd and what they like about him is Lane Hudson of News For The Left and The Huffington Post. In this clip Lane talks about why he thinks Senator Dodd's personalization of how he thinks about the issue of civil unions -- by asking himself how he would want his daughters Grace and Christina to be treated -- is worthy of praise. PS -- I am not Digby.

This morning I spoke with Siun of FireDogLake at the Take Back America conference. She has been very impressed with Senator Dodd's work to end the Iraq War. In this video she talks about Senator Dodd's leadership in the fight against the Iraq supplemental bill last month.

I met up with Phillip Anderson of The Albany Project on Bloggers' Boulevard at Take Back America 2007. Phillip shared his thoughts with me on the presidential race and asks on of the most poignant questions I've heard in discussions about the 2008 race: "Why not Dodd?"
