Hell no! I'd vote for Gravel or Kucinich first.

Dodd:

--voted to allow the US to go into Iraq

--voted for the Patriot Act in 2001 and in favor of reauthorizing it in 2006

--voted for NAFTA

--voted against the Vitter amendment ("intended to prohibit the confiscation of legally-possessed firearms during a disaster")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitter_Amendment

--winner of the "Golden Leash award" (special interest money & elected officials)
http://library.publicampaign.org/sites/default/files/goldenleashes/dodd.htm

--wants to make community service manditory for all high school students

I strongly disagree. While Kucinich, unfortunately, is for big govt, and a proponent of gun control, he is right on civil liberties--including habeas corpus:
