Dodd Nod Gives Obama Modest Boost
At a time when his lack of foreign policy experience is being called into question, an endorsement from Sen. Chris Dodd can only help legitimize Sen. Barack Obama on a national stage, if only incrementally.
A recognized leader on foreign and military affairs, the Connecticut senator’s vouching for Barack Obama speaks volumes as to the latter’s readiness.
In an e-mail to supporters Tuesday, Dodd wrote: “While both of our party’s remaining candidates are extremely talented and would make an excellent commander-in-chief, I am throwing my support to the candidate who I believe will open the most eyes to our shared Democratic vision.”
Barack Obama picked up the endorsement of Chris Dodd today.
Today, Chris Dodd became the first vanquished Democratic presidential candidate to align himself with Obama or Hillary Clinton in 2008.
There has been no formal support from Dennis Kucinich, Joe Biden, or the most coveted endorsements of John Edwards and Bill Richardson.
Chris Dodd, 63, dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination following an unimpressive finish in Iowa caucuses January 3.
“I’m deeply proud to be the first 2008 Democratic presidential candidate to endorse Barack Obama,” Dodd said.
“He is ready to be president. And I am ready to support him - to work with him and for him and help elect him our 44th president.”
While endorsements only carry so much weight, you’d still rather have them from respected, established party leaders than not - especially when your opponents are trying to paint your youth as a liability.
Undecided voters aren’t likely to be swayed by Chris Dodd, but any positive press helps takes the attention away from shameless attacks.

I would Love to see That Heretic Serpent, Hillary Rodham Clinton; Banished back into the Caldrons of Darkness which she has embraced. Obama & Nader could Mend Fence and Unite Independents with Democrats to form a Brain Trust that would lead us all into the Light and the Glory our Country righteously deserves as the re-born Global Leader that we were always destined to become.
I tell you that Woman is Evil incarnate.
Did you all Whitness what that Demon was spewing from her pulpit On SUNDAY??
OH No She Didn’t.??
SHAME ON YOU HOLLARY !!!
For Todays (SUNDAY) Sacrelege, blasphemy, and Atheism..
Mocking the Christian belief in Salvation.
Poking fun and Sarcasm at Believing that Heaven can Open up the sky to those who believe. Laughing at the notion that there are Celestial Angelic Choirs in the Heavens, Hurling sarcasm at those who would believe they can hear. Laughing at Hope.. Laughing at GOD..!!!
Hillary..Can you say Moses?
Did he not part the Red Sea and free his people from the Pharoh?
Who are you Hillary Rodham to tell us all not to believe that all things are possible through our Lord Our God?
It is dillusional to Hope The Lord God would ever extend his ever redeeming, ever forgiving ever everlasting Love to Our Nation? To America and her United States Citizens??
Its dillusional On SUNDAY to think this could be possible ?? 2/24/08
One thing is certain..It won’t be possible under your leadership. You are a non-believer.
I suppose that deceased Dallas Police Officers family should abandon any HOPE for his Salvation. His life was lost performing a difficult and demanding job too. There aint NO GOD coming for him either. Right Hillary??
May God have mercy on your immortal soul Hillary Rodham.
SHAME ON YOU HILLARY RODHAM
The Lord works in mysterious ways….
And today God exposed your true dark soul to the world. And In so doing, the Nation and the World will be better served.

I’m afraid Senator Clinton is becoming unglued and need someone to sit her down, (someone who she REALLY respect)and let her know that to be a fighter is one thing, but to fight wisely to get the results that she suppose to be fighting for, should be her goal. Her fighting seems to be for power,to the point that she is losing all sense of sound and wise judgement. However, I do admire her and find her to be an intelligent woman. She certainly have a lot to offer in some service to the USA, but her emotional state, (probably because she have not dealt with all the emotional disappointments that she have endured over the years)would make her unable to make a positive difference.

an endorsement from a loser like Dodd or Kennedy gets Hussein no boost. What about the Farrakan endorsement . Wake up you idiot Dems, can’t you see this sweet talker is lying to you/ A 46 year old first term senator wants to be president. This is an ambitious egocentric liar
