The Wall Street Journal had a field day with our candidate and his incumbent opponent today.   

Dodd, in his position as the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, demanded on Tuesday that federal regulators dig into Bernard Madoff’s crime and “that the Treasury department figure(s) out some way to get the money back.”  In an opinion piece entitled Dodd of Indignation, the author points out the obvious irony, since Senator Dodd is refusing to release documents of his own that have been requested by federal regulators.  Included in the article is a list of “Dodd Bedfellows”:

Now, although Dodd may be supporting his latest effort with good intentions, he is ready to bring monumental change to our health industry with the same type of government intervention and subsidization that brought down the housing market. Let's join him on his tour and let him know that our health cannot be put in jeopardy!

From Chris Dodd's updates:

I wanted to take this opportunity to announce our next Connecticut Prescriptions for Change event, which will be:

WHERE: Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, Westside Campus Center Ballroom, Located on the 2nd Floor of the Campus Center

WHEN: 2:30 pm, Saturday, February 7, 2009

The focus of this event will be on creating a preventative health care system. As we work to make quality, affordable health care accessible to all in this country, one of our goals must be to keep people healthy instead of only treating them once they’ve become sick. I hope you can make it.
