Dodd is merely upholding Connecticut’s long Senatorial tradition of modesty, deference and self-effacement :>.
After all, it was Chris who inherited ;} Abe Ribicoff’s Senate seat in 1981 when Abe retired after 3 terms; and it was Abe who, from the podium at the legendary 1968 Democratic national convention, had intoned a prayer of thanksgiving for his own Courage :), to wit: “thank God somebody has got the courage” to stand up and Condemn the “gestapo tactics” of the Chicago cops in the street-rioting outside, which Abe was in the very process of Doing when he paused to acknowledge the Almighty as the source of his Bravery ;}.
Granted, Senator Ribicoff was being fiercely Booed by the front-row Chicago delegation at the time; and when Hizzoner Mayor Daley then Flipped him the proverbial Bird, Abe famously and Modestly responded, “How hard it is to accept The Truth.” :>
Oh, how I do love my State. :)
(btw I’m delighted to see, in the linked article just below the Dodd write-up, that Ralph Nader is Still Whining. Oh, how Hard it Is to get On the Ballot. WAW haw haw :)
PS ~ then of course there was our shy & humble Senator Weicker. WAW HAW HAW! but I’ll Spare you now; must leave room for everyone to go after the hegemonic antediluvian megalomaniac Joe Lieberman ;>.
It is too early in the Primaries to start weeding out people. However, the debates, as they are now, are so friggin’ unwieldy that nobody is ever really taken to task on their positions because there isn’t enough time.
Yeah, MMEsq ~ nor indeed is there even enough time for them to properly state & explain & advocate their positions, beyond the short-simplified-sloganized-soundbite thing.
Now I suppose that in lieu of prematurely jettisoning the Singledigiters ;}, theoretically the Sponsors & TV People could ameliorate the Time crunch by Expanding the debates to, let’s see, say, 4 or 5 hours a Pop? :) But of course then Literally Nobody (hi Brendan “Stop Misusing ‘Literally’” Loy :) would watch, as distinguished from the presumably Small slice of the electorate that tunes in to the current dog-and-pony shows ~ plus, the candidates would have to get Bathroom breaks ;], the viewers would yell to Hell about the disruption of their Regular program schedules, the TV outfits would lose Millions and NAAAH, fuggedabout it.
But before the Primaries, and the Pre-primary implosions (hi Senator McCain ;) begin to winnow down the Debaters, remember: there are lots of Officially Declared Candidates who are already excluded, and Have been from the Getgo. Always are. / Having retired from the Elections Administration racket profession :>, I don’t know the Excludniks’ names any more, but Trust me, they are Out there. (Some of them WAAAY Out there. :) Which raises the Cause/Effect conundrum: are these Invisible candidates unknown to the American public because the debatemongering Media unjustly Ignores them? Or, are they rightly ignored because they are Unknown to us? (I mean Literally unknown to Literally any & All of us of course, hi again Brendan ;>. After all, people in Ron Paul’s District have heard of him, just as several hundred Oldtimers [shaddup :] in Alaska remember Mike Gravel very well. :}
