2. Chris Dodd?
Hey everyone is entitled to support anyone they want. Dodd is at the bottom of my list, though.

I agree with one thing Kos said and that's since Dodd is in the second tier of candidates he is free to say anything he wants. He's not being restrained by political handlers like the tier one candidates.

3. I was surprised at that, too. But, after thinking about it...what you say
is what KOS was saying. The others are now so "co-opted by handlers" that what they really stand for has been blotted out.

Without Gore declaring...I wondered what else Marcos could say that would make sense. I thought tying in the enthusiasm of Dean supporters where Dean focused on the "People Having the Power" contrasting that with how "Obama" has now become a phenomenon where OBAMA is the Center of Attention and not THE People...and how this translates into other candidates losing the people because of how carefully they are manage by their Campaign Handlers...was really interesting in this interview.

I don't know that he supports Dodd...but like you say in your reply...Dodd is in the second tier and more unfettered in what he can say whether it's what we agree with or not...he can be "unscripted."

strongest against the war supplimental (Senator). Strong carbon cap position. Dodd more than any Senator understands that Executive power abuse rots under our problems.

5. He's using Obama talking points -
Also, Kos has a overly excited (and I'm being nice) Obama supporter who is one of his lawyers (AdamB) - between the two of them, they had trashed Edwards a least a dozen times...funny thing, over at Kos, the Edwards supporters are stronger than ever. Eh, makes you kinda go hummm.
