Dodd has made a bold move and has distinguished himself from the rest of the pack, especially among progressives.

Hillary, are you ready to lead?

Here’s her leadership:

you know for a fact? or you have reason to believe?

Not Biodun, but very often Countdown’s first few stories appear to be in sync with FDL. I don’t have any evidence other than a gut feel.

If it’s good enough for Michael Chertoff, it’s good enough for you :)

The thing that surprises me is how CHEAP it is to buy a member of the congress of the US. Cheap. Worth every penny for these corporations, I’m sure.

I guess anything over 30 pieces of silver will do.

You mean if we pool together $23,000 we would be able to bring Harry Reid back from the dark side?
