The Democrats were hit with yet another round of casualites today when Senator Dodd(pictured above), the head of the Senate Banking Committee, announced his retirement. Another Democrat senator and a state governor announced their retirement earlier this week. Both Dodd, and Senator Byron Dorgan(the other Senate retiree) would've faced difficult campaigns had they sought re-election. Healthcare reform is continuing to take its toll on the Democrats. If this keeps up(and all indications say it will), the Democrat party will be the one needing healthcare, not the American people.
Some more good news heading into 2010. :)
