Christopher Dodd

He is a representative in the House for the state of Connecticut since 1974. With his experience, Dodd decided to try for the nominee. He was different from the other candidates by his approach to the Iraq War. Dodd wanted to divide Iraq into three separate states.

Part of his campaign strategy for a grass root movement was to move to Iowa. If he won Iowa, he could win the United States. He even put his kids in the Iowa public school system. This failed miserable.

Dodd did not last long in this election after failing to receive even one percent of the votes in Iowa. The main complaint against Dodd was he spoke too much. He continued to talk but did not say anything important. Dodd dropped out of the race immediately fulfilling his promise to quit if he did not come in at least fourth place.

Michigan and New Hampshire still gave Dodd some votes even after he dropped out.

After failing in the race, he moved his family back to Connecticut were they settled back in easily.
