Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, a supporter of the President or a foe, please take a minute to remember the sadness taking place in Iraq.

Senator Christopher J. Dodd (D-CT) is taking steps to seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for POTUS (President of the United States) in 2008.
Sen. Christopher J. Dodd said today he has “decided to do all the things that are necessary to prepare to seek the presidency in 2008.”
The Connecticut Democrat will hire staff, raise money and travel around the country in the next few months as he tries to enlist support.
Like other presidential contenders, Dodd said during a lengthy interview in his Capitol Hill office that he will not formally decide until early next year whether to make his bid official. At the moment, he joins about 10 other major Democratic Party figures who are considering a run.
Sen. Dodd came close to running for President in 2004, but in the end decided not to. DoubleSpeak will follow the ‘08 horse-race and we’ll keep you up on who’s in, who’s out, who’s up and who’s down. Stay tuned!
