SPECIAL CONVENTION COVERAGE -- Dodd Speaks

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut started and ended strong. The middle, I must admit, I didn't really listen to. The speech was substantive, and we are clearly fortunate to have Dodd fighting the good Democratic fight in the Senate. Although, I think based on the way things are going for his campaign -- he will not be leaving the Senate any time soon. Senator Dodd faced an uphill battle today, with a speaking slot sandwiched between the mega stars Clinton and Obama. As you can imagine, most of the convention took his speech as an opportunity for a much needed bathroom break. It is notable that the first speaker all day to deliver part of his speech in Spanish at the California Democratic convention in San Diego was a Caucasian from Connecticut.
