2008 Presidential Hopeful Chris Dodd Lays an Egg!



The floundering Presidential campaign of weak-chinned Senator Chris "He Aint Going Anywhere, Folks" Dodd (Exaggerated cough suggested feigned detachment) stumbled into fourth place in a poll issued on his prospects in his own state. According to politico:

"A new poll released Monday shows Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., as 'a distant fourth' in a Democratic primary match-up in his home state.

"The Quinnipiac University poll shows Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., leading Democrats with 33 percent. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is in second with 21 percent, leaving Dodd with 8 percent, trailing former Vice President Al Gore who came in third with 9 percent."

The real embarrasing thing is, of course, Al Gore has made no overtures towards running. In essence, Dodd is being beaten in a hypothetical presidential campaign in his own state (a state his dad also represented) by a man who, as of now, has no intention of running.

The United States Senate is known as "Salle d"Attante," or, The Waiting Room, because all 100 members of that august legislative body consider themselves as possible Presidents (For further reference, see the present field of Senators-in-the-Running). But, seriously: Desist, Senator Dodd ... desist!
