Chris Dodd is expected to announce that he will not seek re-election today. This comes on the heels of Senator Byron Dorgan’s (D-ND) announced retirement yesterday. As the number of Democrat House Reps and Senators who will not seek re-election rises, many on the right are beaming with the prospect of House and Senate gains.
What is being overlooked is that these Democrat House Reps and Senators are free to vote for whatever crappy legislation they please without a worry about answering to their constituents. In essence they are like Dead Men Walking. They have nothing to lose by going against the will of the people for the next eleven months.
So as we all cheer about another Dem biting the dust before 2010, let us take time to realize the threat these retiring Dems pose.
