Dodd’s Hold Succeeds! Harry Reid has pulled the FISA bill until the first of the year. It was great to see Chris Dodd stand up for the rule of law today and put an end to this pampering George Bush has received under this Democratic Congress.

It’s also worth mentioning that Chris Dodd was the only presidential candidate that chose to stay off the campaign trail today and fight for this. Biden, Clinton and Obama all chose their own campaigns over our nation as a whole. They should be reminded of that. It will be very interesting to see if this brings any sort of bump in the poll numbers for Dodd. Hopefully it does, because this was clearly a instance where a Democrat saw something that really goes against every principle which the party is founded on and did something to stop it opposed to sitting back and letting it move through which is something the Democrats have been doing way to much of the last couple years. He clearly showed backbone, and that is something the Democrats MUST have in a presidential candidate.
