Dodd-Simmons: Game On?

By Jim Vicevich / February 7, 2009 /

Here’s the headline from the JI:  Simmons weighs run for Senate And about time. Dodd’s vulnerable … his tenure alone makes him vulnerable. Add to that his reluctance to come clean on his mortgages and his stunning lack of leadership at best and complicity at worst during the mortgage meltdown makes him a liability as…

By Steve McGough / June 17, 2010 /

You’ve got to be kidding me. The US Department of Agriculture has a rural development program – what ever that is – with available funding from the most recent stimulus package totaling $168 million. The Mohegan tribe in Connecticut got almost one-third of the funds.

Dodd bill decides to kick small business – Update: Dodd Bill killed

By SoundOffSister / April 26, 2010 /

One would think that Congress would be doing anything to create jobs. Instead, they seem to want to kill jobs. Let’s look at the Dodd financial overhaul bill as one example of this trend. One section of the bill deals with private investment in small “start up” companies.  These companies are today’s version of yesterday’s Microsoft,…

By Jim Vicevich / December 20, 2009 /

It’s not so much whether Ed Marcus has influence over Chris Dodd. He is after all a former state chair. But he is talking about it publicly. Dodd he says, will not only lose, but he will bring down the entire Democratic ticket including the race for Governor. From this morning’s Face The State. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAY9D0cDZPU…

Toast? Dodd trails by 11

By Jim Vicevich / November 12, 2009 /

It’s just one poll, it’s still a year away, but the time is running shorter and the poll is running in the wrong direction for the senior Senator from Connecticut.

Michael Moore to Chris Dodd: Don’t run

By Jim Vicevich / September 30, 2009 /

Not like Dodd will listen. The interview with Matthews is pretty good … and certainly it doesn’t make Dodd look good. Shocker! Matthews interviews Michael Moore on his new movie “Capitalism” … of which Countrywide and Chris Dodd are stars. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4jG0MRYlRc Never thought I would say this … but as I have been told ……

$hady Land of Dodd

By Jim Vicevich / July 5, 2009 /

With the exception of one or two articles, and two columnists who know the true meaning of journalism … Dodd has been pretty much flying under the public media radar … until today? The New York Post has begun to dig and that can’t help the Senior Senator … and what they find is Dodd…

It’s more than just an embarrassing moment for Dodd, it’s another…

Dodd’s Irish Country Cottage

By Jim Vicevich / February 22, 2009 /

Tell me again about how these guys inside the beltway are performing public service? Chris Dodd, (D-Countrywide) watches the housing market implode while he gets favored mortgage treatment here … and great land deals overseas partnering with felons? Perfect. Kevin Rennie continuuuuuues. Ireland does not easily give up its secrets. That may have been one…
