Why is Senator Chris Dodd (D-Connecticut) in trouble in his bid for re-election in 2010?

Because he is ethically challenged.

Banning single payer advocates from three Senate Finance Committee hearings on health care reform last month was “an absolute mistake.”

That’s the take of Senator Kent Conrad (D-North Dakota).

“It was an absolute mistake that single payer (advocates) didn’t have the opportunity to testify,” Senator Conrad told Single Payer Action. “It’s not right. People should have had the ability to testify.”
