Obama-Dodd '08 The "sweetheart" ticket

when I posted this awhile back I meant it as a joke

Obama-Dodd 2008--We're so great the banks cut our interest rate!!! http://www.thenextright.com/ironman/obama-dodd-2008-were-so-great-the-banks-cut-our-interest-rate

Certainly after Barack Obama was charged with getting a sweetheart mortgage deal http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/07/did_obama_get_sweetheart_mortg.html for his own Chicago mansion, he wouldn't want someone who did the exact same thing...

Guess I was wrong ...from this morning's  AP wire 

 Obama seeks info on Dodd in vice president search

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama's presidential campaign has requested information from Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd as part of its search for a possible vice presidential candidate

The former White House hopeful and Connecticut lawmaker indicated Wednesday that he has been approached by the campaign. "There's been some inquiries, yeah," Dodd said. "They ask for a lot of stuff. I'll leave it there."

Let's think about the info he could be getting?

* The details on Dodd's mortgage transactions which he has refused to share with the Connecticut news media? http://www.courant.com/news/politics/hcu-doddmortgage-0617,0,4759051.story including the "enchanced customer service" http://www.thenextright.com/ironman/chris-dodd-oh-what-a-tangled-web-we-weave

* An explaination  of why Dodd's "management" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/06/AR2007110602146.html of the Senate Banking Committee has been such an abysmal failure...leading to the highest foreclosure rate in recent history?    http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/05/news/economy/foreclosure/index.htm?postversion=2008060510

* Or maybe this info will cause Obama to flip-flop-flip back on the FISA bill and once again decide harassing law-abiding businesses is more important than protecting American citizens http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/07/020955.php

Jeez, this is gonna be fun!!!!

By the way, here's their campaign song.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOcb4XczXBI
