Just looking at the website and the video, I don't see this guy as the next Ned Lamont, and frankly, I'm for Dodd all the way. Dodd's been a great senator in the past and he's earned a lot of praise from the netroots, and rightfully so. There have been many times in the past where he's been a leader on progressive legislation, from Family Leave to FISA, and I'd hate to see him leave the Senate at this point. I'm well aware of the AIG issue, which I think was a load of crap. No one worked harder than Dodd (well, maybe Bernie Sanders) to get some accountability at AIG. If you want to blame someone for that mess, look elsewhere.
That said, I understand that Connecticut voters are rather pissed. Dodd needs to work to reconnect with his state after his failed presidential campaign. If he is turned away in the primary, I will support the Democrat, and I hope everyone else does too, and I hope the primary goes ahead without any interference, but I still think Chris Dodd deserves to be reelected.
