"Dodd Squad" beats "Straight Talk Express" in another category besides lamest slogan ever

Ari Berman at the Nation points out the various ways in which John McCain's campaign is rapidly imploding, (http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters?bid=45&pid=186404), most noticeably, he's behind CHRIS DODD in fundraising. 

Not to say Chris Dodd isn't an admirable guy, and a candidate worth noticing, but when you're one of the country's most high-profile senators, have run for president multiple times, and are being touted as the right-wing go-to-guy... this does not bode well.

News reports  say Dodd has about 6.4 million on hand for the primaries, while McCain has just 5.2. This of course dwarfed by the tens of millions Clinton and Obama pulled in during the first quarter.

This past week, the political establishment has been obsessing over who "won" and who "lost" stage one of the so-called "money primary." But the first incumbent-free presidential election in 55 years should first and foremost be about ideas and leadership. Money buys organization, but voters want a candidate prepared to take America forward - someone who has come to grips with the unique historical times we live in, and laid out a vision, backed by a bold, specific agenda, ready to face the challenges and seize the opportunities facing America and the world.
