More Dodd

Pam at Blogmeister USA is a constituent of Senator Christophopher Dodd (D-Conn). So it's best to go to the source to see what else I can find out about Connecticutt's lesser-known senator--and presidential candidate:

An excerpt from her blog post on Dodd:

Let's not forget Dodd's recent trip to the Middle East (one not sanctioned by the administration, who sets foreign policy), and his call on Syria's president, who is persona non grata at the Bush White House.

(My note: John Kerry was along for the ride on that Syrian visit.)

For those of you unfamiliar with Dodd, a Washington regular for over 30 years, here's his voting record. He's a real liberal's liberal, voting heavily in accordance with NARAL's wishes and, as cited above, he has major union ties.

Oh, and did you know that he served in the Army Reserves during Vietnam? I wonder how that will be handled by the press, which was so eager to bash President Bush for only having served in the Texas Air National Guard.
More...

UPDATE (10:14 a.m.): I forgot to mention...Dodd, a major critic of the war in Iraq, originally voted "yes," now saying his vote was a "mistake." Just something to keep in mind.
