That's just outstanding - and I love how he phrases it. There's no snark or cynicism; just an honest question. One I bet the bedwetters on the right don't have the guts to answer.

I'd like to see the responses if the question was even brought up.

I am consistently impressed by Chris Dodd. It's a shame that he's a third tier candidate.

Here's a web innovation for you

If this doesn’t scare the living crap out of you then
nothing will.
Pass this around to ALL you know while there is still
time left to act.

Chris Dodd has the integrity to be our next President... from standing up against the FISA bill to being mindfully aware of the abuses that the Nazi's took with civil liberties through his father's work at the Nuremburg trials. Mr. Dodd brings some valuable tools to this race. I wish him well.

so far all the debates both Democrats and repugs have not been debates,
just pissing matches.

when are we going to have real debates with the candidates answering the
questions with what they will do and NOT with petulant childish rants against their opponents?

Not in my lifetime.

Assuming they put this question is even put up to the GOoPers, who wants to take bets on all but Ron Paul spending their response time talking about how much of an America-hating liberal Dodd is than answering anything substantive thing he asked?

As for presidential debates, perhaps the last real one was held in the 1960 race.

Dodd just scored points......why is he the only one so far to do this?

The politicians think youtube and the people who use it are dumb.

You need to be in "The Club" to be taken seriously by these politicians.

In the top 1%.

Jesus....Seems like that'd be right up their alley!

But seriously, I think YouTube is just too damned democratic fer the rest of 'em. Maybe not Kucinich, but, ya know, all the rest of 'em, Dem and GOP.

Presidents still sign and push paper across the desk of the oval office. Real high tech stuff. I've yet to see a picture of Bush digitally signing a bill on the oval office desktop. With the "buds" leaning over his shoulder smiling.

that's what we need, the entire Democartic Party asking questions for the GOP YouTube Debates and the entire GOP party asking questions for the DNC Debates. this way America can see once and for all who stands for what. the substance of the questions will be more telling then the bullshit answer either side can give!

Counting the seconds until Dodd is condemned as a traitorous terrorist sympathizer by one of the lunatic fringe.

Damn, picked up something nasty over Thanksgiving.

You should have that treated right away...Limbaughngitis can be very hazardous to your well being and peace of mind

yes my uncle got crabs from listening to him

Everybody has to write CNN and request they out it on. CNN will not play it unless it's ratings boost or a money-maker.

CNN's default will be to ignore it because its politically controversial (which in itself is an indicator of how badly it is needed to be answered by the candidates).

We have unfortunately arrived at the point in the US of A where it is considered "lunatic fringe" to just do what the Constitution says. It was along hard, ugly, fall to get here, but here we are.

The only way to get the no-balls girlie-men at CNN to play it is to twist their arms and dangle the ratings carrot in front them, at the same time. The lack of cajones at CNN is legendary.

Because CNN is NOT predisposed to do the right thing.

Goes right to the heart of my belief that the candidates should be asking the candidates questions; not the pundits.

I was with you until you mentioned "girlie men." The phrase reminds me of a commercial for Sean Hannity. Yuck. Try using a phrase that isn't as sexist.

Sometimes i think they should drop the charade, tell us who the next President is and save everyone a lot of time and money.

I think Edwards/Dodd would be unstoppab- wait, the floating news-heads on TV are talking about the color of Hillary's blouse! ZOMG!

wow! your right....just changed my shorts . knew it was coming but not the manner and how close we are. "the sheep look up" is here and now

Dear illogical nutballs (I'll assume there are actually two of you, not one pretending that he has a friend),

If Canada and Mexico would like to share in our monsterous trade and budget deficits, not to mention inject their much saner (their peasants are at least smart enough not to vote against their own self interest.....and a Canadian "right winger" is about like our Democrats) selves into our electoral processes further diluting the effects of brainwashed fundie zombies and terrified of brown people pants pissers, I say Viva la star spangled O Canada.

If you would like to psycho-obsess over an ACTUAL threat to US sovereignty, take a look at China, who is currently able to affect our behavior with (fortunately to this point hollow) threats to collapse our currency, and is in the process of buying up MASSIVE numbers of our businesses and other assets at a discount....they gave us low priced consumer goods, and they are getting back income producing assets

V V

I believe they also bought a lot of the housing loans that are failing.They are literally buying the country.....

It took me a while to choose a candidate, but about a month ago I chose Chris Dodd and, damn, I keep getting proof it was the right choice. Time for me to pony up some more dollars, and I don't care if he's a third tier candidate, I'm still hoping the others will implode, heh.

Either we save our Constitution, or we lose everything.

Never quit fighting. That's one thing we have to do - no matter what they tell us is "impossible" - we have to fight to the bitter end, because its damn well worth it.

Dodd Bless America

I think it's a great idea here that Dodd made that video here and that he might get to ask the Republicans a question here.

(I love Dodd, but could someone please get him to stop it with that "here" tick he has?)

.

Dear Senator Dodd,

GREAT QUESTION!

How would you answer it, Senator?

What would YOU do?
What ARE you doing?

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, ...

Or better yet, more promises for tomorrow?

Find me a person who promises to do things, tomorrow, and I'll show you a someone who can not keep their promise, TODAY!

You PROMISED, no, SWORE to defend and support the Constitution of the U.S.A.

Since when is warrant-less, legal?
Since when is torture, legal?
Since when is defrauding Congress, legal?

THIS question needs to be asked. See video: CNN/YouTube Republican Debate: Giuliani 9/11 Question Giuliani claims, "American foreign policy had nothing to do with the September 11th. September 11th happened because these people who hate us, hate us because of the freedoms that we have." see my question

But the "CNN political team" picks the videos and it doesn't look like much chance they willl pick this. Stll, we should try to raise hell and spread the link to this question around: http://representativepress.googlepages.com/CNNYouTube.html
Tell others to do the same. Contact CNN and tell tehm you want to see this question asked.

Ermm...yawn...?

There is not another candidate who comes close to having Dodd's integrity and commitment to the rule of law. I hope enough people get to hear what Sen. Dodd is saying.

D'oohhhhh! The crack film crew had Mr. Dodd sitting in front of the "D" in his last name, thereby presenting him as "Christopher Odd." Can't get a break.

That was odd. He should have made a joke about how he couldn't get airtime answering questions so he thought he try asking one.
