I can just imagine the questions coming from Dodd's 2 and 5 year old daughters after his creepy remarks about how he thinks about them growing up to be lesbians. I'm not even sure if that was legal to say or admit thinking about these days. Anyways...how can he look at his 2 and 5 year old girls and think about them eating twat? Am I the only one completely creeped out by his comments? And when he walked off the set, was he greeted with high-fives and "You really nailed it out there?" Is it possible that Dodd thought that there would be folks who, after hearing about him imagining his 2 and 5 year old daughters growing up to be lesbians, said to themselves "What was that guy's name? Dodd? I'm going to vote for him. He articulates my thoughts exactly!" His remarks were the wildest, most ill-conceived, and creepy, that I've ever heard from a politician trying to win votes in an election process. I just threw up inside my throat. AL

Democratic presidential hopeful Chris Dodd told high school students Wednesday that people debating gay marriage should ask themselves just one question: What would you do if your child were gay? Dodd said anyone who would deny a gay child the right to be happy isn't being honest.
"We ought to be able to have these loving relationships," the Connecticut senator said.

Dodd, the father of 2-year-old and 5-year-old girls, said his daughters could grow up to be lesbians and that he hopes they would have the opportunity to enjoy marriage-like rights.
"They may grow up as a different sexual orientation than their parents," he said. "How would I want my child to be treated if they were of a different sexual orientation?"
Dodd, who opposed a constitutional amendment to limit marriage to man-woman unions, said he supports civil unions but not gay marriage. Asked after his address at Concord High School what he sees as the difference, he said: "I don't think probably much in people's minds. If you're allowing that, all the protections you have there, you've covered it."
As Dodd spoke, lawmakers were debating a civil unions bill a mile away at the statehouse. The bill passed easily, moving on to the Senate.
Later, during an appearance at Saint Anselm College's New Hampshire Institute of Politics in Manchester, Dodd told young voters that they shouldn't accept pundits' predictions that the Democratic field is limited to the three top-polling candidates.
Dodd, polling at under 5 percent in new numbers released this week, said New Hampshire voters should embrace his campaign for its ideas.
