Harkin Steak Fry: Best Line Goes to Dodd

Even though his overall speech wasn't one of the best of the day, Chris Dodd had the best line of the afternoon.

Dodd began his speech by going through thanking people. It seemed this part of his speech took too long, but he ended the thank you's with the day's best one-liner by saying...

In addition to sucking up to Harkin, here, we're all here to tell you why we want to be President.

Dodd then went into the meat of his speech saying the first thing he'd do as President is to restore the constitution. Yesterday, Dodd got an early start on this by submitting a bill along with Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA) to restore habeas corpus.

Dodd said the people standing on this stage all have similar policies, but what matters is experience and the ability to bring Americans together. Attempting to differentiate himself from Hillary Clinton, Dodd stressed his ability to bring both sides together by standing on principle and building relationships.
