The Firefighters' Road Trip for Dodd (HILLARY!!!1!!)

Edited on Tue Dec-04-07 05:17 PM by sniffa

The International Association of Firefighters endorsed Chris Dodd in late August. Now it's hitting the roads of Iowa to whip up support for the Connecticut senator.

"If you haven't been inside a caucus in Iowa, you really won't understand what our members can do when a candidate fails to meet 15 percent threshold," IAFF president Harold A. Schaitberger told Channel '08 in August. "When those that are in the center of the room and undecided, our members know how to bring them to the gold and black corner," he added.

The union has produced a video of its trip, which continues through Dec. 6.

the video is posted in the video forum.

2. I think that endorsement has kept Dodd viable.

3. Dodd's stands on FISA, the constitution

and way back in May his lead on cutting off funding for Iraq have been pretty good too.

4. Now that I think about it. I think FISA put him on the map so to speak for this election.

But I knew when he got the firefighter's endorsement that he would be in it till IA.

Something I was unsure of until then.
