Jim Craig, former minority leader of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, has an op-ed in support of Chris Dodd in today's Manchester Union-Leader. Here's an excerpt:
Instead of looking for a candidate that is talking about changing the country on the campaign trail, we should be looking for the candidate who actually has. For over a quarter of a century Chris Dodd has been getting results for American families rooted in our most common values balancing family and work, giving our children a world-class education -- he has been called "the children's senator" -- making sure our families and nation are secure.
When he saw more and more Americans struggling to balance family and work, Chris Dodd stood up and reached out, writing the first federal child care law since World War II and passing the Family and Medical Leave Act. It took seven years, and he had to overcome two presidential vetoes, but Dodd kept at it, bringing more people on board in support of the bill.
Today, because of his leadership, 50 million Americans have been able to take time off for themselves, to be with a loved one during a time of illness or to celebrate the birth of a child.
...
We all know this is a talented field. But the New Hampshire presidential primary is our unique opportunity to weigh the vision and record of every candidate, to determine for ourselves which of them has gone beyond simply talking about change by actually producing real results for the American people. New Hampshire voters should take a close look at the candidates and ask themselves: if we want a President who can produce real change, shouldn't we elect someone who has a record of doing it? If the answer is "yes," then there's only one candidate in the field: Chris Dodd.
