Dodd headed to Treasury?

Think Progress » Dodd headed to Treasury?

It's thinkprogress, but it poses a interesting question no less.

Speculation has also begun about potential employment for Dodd in the Obama administration.

For instance, several Democratic Senate aides noted that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is an extremely unpopular figure in the Senate. Geithner has also taken the brunt of the criticism for the administration’s handling of the economy and, these sources speculated, if the country’s financial picture does not brighten before Election Day, he could be the first secretary to leave the administration.

Although Dodd would appear to be well-situated to take control of Treasury if the position were to open, it may not be smooth sailing for his nomination.

Might as well leave Geithner in if they're just going to replace him with Dodd.

 

[Article 15]

He should go to his cottage in Ireland and not come back.

if dems and obama are so great....why do you underwhelm them with your support?

I dont think thats a smart move for a man with as much baggage as Dodd.

He should just quietly retire now that he retired IMO.

The Obamites know they can safely shit all over wingnut liberal progressives at Thinkprogress, Dailykos, moveon, et. al., and suffer very little for it. Who are leftist wingnuts going to vote for, a Republican?
