Dodd’s Dangerous Dance. Plus Dodd vs Kudlow?

By Jim Vicevich / March 4, 2009 /

Instapundit continues to blaze the web trail tacking everything and all Dodd and we are more than happy to help get the word out. You can catch it here. Like any Washington survivor who senses that the political tide is shifting, Dodd knows he must swim with it or sink in its wake. And for…

Dodd Down

By Jim Vicevich / February 11, 2009 /

Well … it’s a start. In a Quinnipiac University poll taken days after Dodd released details of two mortgages being investigated by a Senate ethics panel, Connecticut voters are evenly split on whether they trust the five-term Democrat. Fifty-four percent of those surveyed said they are not satisfied with Dodd’s explanation of his mortgage situation…

Kevin Rennie has dug deeper into Dodd’s real estate deals in both DC and In Ireland with his friends Ed Downe and William Kessinger (A Pardon For A Friend, A Good Deal For Dodd). The bottom line … it looks like it pays to be a sitting in influential Senator in Washington, not that that…

Less than 2 percent of Dodd’s first quarter donors Connecticut residents

By Steve McGough / April 17, 2009 /

The statistic is even more laughable when you hear that during the first quarter of 2009, only five Connecticut residents donated to Sen. Chris Dodd’s (D-Conn.) 2010 Senate race. Although Dodd has yet to declare he is running for reelection in 2010, donations are coming in. Out of approximately 400 donors, only five are Connecticut…

Dodd’s Campaign Money Shift Raises Questions

By Jim Vicevich / October 26, 2008 /

A Senate investigation isn’t like a Countrywide mortgage: It’s expensive to prove there’s nothing there. Dodd has caught a lucky break, as senators often do. The Federal Elections Commission allows Dodd to use campaign funds from the Friends of Chris Dodd re-election committee to pay his legal and other expenses incurred in the ethics investigation. The law…

Dodd spokesman calls Tea Party Patriots “Tea-baggers”

By Jim Vicevich / September 12, 2009 /

Extreme, fringe, and tea-baggers … this is what your Senator thinks of all of you. And the very fact that he has had to resort to using fowl sexual language to describe his constituents gives you a good indication of the state of his campaign. Chris Dodd won’t improve his chances of re-election with talk…

Dodd’s Country Cottage – Update

By Jim Vicevich / March 10, 2009 /

Well … thanks to Kevin Rennie we have a better idea of what Dodd’s Irish cottage looks like … hmmm … 200,000 … while condos go for three times that … Make sure you go to real time investigations for more on changes that need to be made in Senate disclosure rules. Note that Dodd…

Dodd Under Fire For Allowing Bonuses-Video-Update: Dodd Responds

By Jim Vicevich / March 17, 2009 /

The NY Times is reporting (paragraph 16) that Chris Dodd included an exemption for bonuses like the ones given AIG in the February stimulus bill … I thought about adding this to Steve’s post on the Democrats going after Rob Simmons but this story is becoming bigger by the minute. The administration official said the Treasury…

Taking a Closer Look at Dodd’s Mortgage (Updated July 21)

By Steve McGough / June 17, 2008 /

Since I’m one of his constituents here in Connecticut, I figured that I would take a closer look at the two mortgages that Chris Dodd and his wife received on his property here in-state and in Washington D.C. As I write this post, I’m assuming Dodd did not ask for special treatment. [Update June 18]…
