Biden To Fundraise For Dodd -- Again
By Jamie Shufflebarger
VP Joe Biden will be the star attraction at a $500/plate fundraiser for Sen. Chris Dodd (D) on 12/11.
It is the second time the VP has appeared with his friend Dodd. Biden first appeared with Dodd 10/5, and Pres. Obama headlined a fundraiser for Dodd on 10/23. Dodd will need all the help (and money) he can get, considering that he has struggled in every poll released this year.
Before the 12/11 event, Biden and Dodd will also appear together to tout the stimulus at a East Hartford Fire Dept., which has received $3M in recovery funds.
"We're grateful that Vice President Biden is taking time out of his schedule to join Chris Dodd at this event," said CT Dem Party spokesperson Colleen Flanagan in an interview 12/9. "It's a testament to how important and effective the White House believes Chris Dodd is in the Senate that both Vice President Biden and President Obama have joined him on the campaign trail."
Dodd's numbers have not improved with all the personal attention, though the WH is clearly concerned about his chances. Meanwhile, he has fought back against rumors of his imminent retirement, while GOP strategists believe Dodd is the best candidate for them.
Biden has emerged as the WH's point man for '10 House and Senate fundraising, glad-handing donors around the country in an attempt to limit Dem losses.
Updated: Biden's first appearance with Dodd was not at a fundraiser. The 10/5 appearance was an event focused on the stimulus package. Biden later appeared at a fundraiser for Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT).
Dodd is a no-go for election in '10. He proves every day his lack of real intelligence and that he has no clue as to what is happening in America today. He and all career politicians are completely out of touch. If he seriously wanted to win he should be abandoning the $500 a plate fund raisers and start opening up $25 plate to the every day taxpayer and actually listening to what they think and want and then proceeding along those lines as well as upholding the Constitution.
He is a career politician whose only interest is in his own power base and dollars and perks he receives from the lobbyists/special interest groups. Can you say ACORN. He is a dinasaur with no clue that the big bang is about to rest on his doorstep.
Any politician serious about "fixing" the economy, healthcare or being fair to the American taxpayer and creating jobs would stop spending completely, reduce taxes such as payroll taxes and get out of the way government wise. If Dodd was honestly interested in saving the economy he would give up his salary and any future increases. But they never do that because they stopped caring about anyone but themselves a long, long time ago.
