Seen at Ballot Access News:
Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut did not file to be on the New York Democratic presidential primary. 5,000 signatures are required for Democrats in New York. The six Democrats who did file in New York are Biden, Clinton, Edwards, Kucinich, Obama and Richardson.
So, are we getting close to Connecticut getting its Democratic senator back?
I can empathize with the disappointment that some Dodd supporters are likely feeling…or will likely feel sometime in the next month and a half. If Dodd had gotten his legs in this campaign / if he wasn’t facing a number of heavy-hitting competitors, a number of his positions definitely appeal to me, almost to the extent of his radiating “creepy politician” vibes on the occasions I’ve met him.
