Photo from my iPhoneBy accident I bumbled into Chris Dodd's news conference at the Biltmore Hotel Saturday morning and met their campaign blogger, Matt Browner-Hamlin, who was operating a live webcast of the event while hardly lifting a finger. Wow. The news conference even included a question from someone watching on line.
You can see the result with this link to the Dodd blog. Those who know Spanish can see how fluently the Connecticut senator speaks the language.
As Dodd announced his menu of changes to Cuba policy, he had a sterling group of Hispanic supporters beside him including a former chair of the Florida Democratic Party, Alfredo Duran. Dodd's Cuba policy is available on the campaign website. It's fair to say there isn't a brick left standing of the current policy. All walls down, and let's open an embassy in Havana and negotiate regular flights.
One of the reporters tried to get Dodd to say he'd rush off to meet Castro, but Dodd said that wasn't the issue: being ready for new policy was more important.
And what about the ban on campaigning due to the Florida primary mess? Are you campaigning today, Senator? "I'm campaigning every day."
