After the last Democratic debate in New Hampshire when Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards couldn't say for sure if all the troops would be out of Iraq by 2013, more than 5 years from now, I began looking at all the candidates once again.
Over at Open Left, they ask so why not Chris Dodd?
Chris Dodd has put together an impressive list of accomplishments and issue positions during the past year. Here are some of them:
- Promised to get all troops out of Iraq by 2013, something Clinton, Obama and Edwards did not do.
- Took leadership roles during the Iraq supplemental fight, and now during the FISA fight.
- Has also taken leadership on Habeas Corpus.
- Supports a carbon tax instead of a cap and trade policy, something Al Gore has praised Dodd for in the past.
- Always says the right thing, whether it is on Iraq, supporting the netroots or, well, seemingly anything.

I agree. Facts is, Dodd is the best. See this.
Dodd's liability... He's a white Liberal male from New England. The 19th century tradition of electing out of the northeast died with Roosevelt.
Then agin, one of them is bound to win again one of these days.
