Dodd Draws First Blood

I'm as forthright and progressive on immigration policy as anyone here. But we're dealing with a serious problem here ... The idea that we're going to extend this privilege here of a driver's license I think is troublesome, and I think the American people are reacting to it."

"We need to deal with security on our borders. We need to deal with the attraction that draws people here. We need to deal fairly with those who are here. But this is a privilege. Talk about health care, I have a different opinion. That affects the public health of all of us. But a license is a privilege, and that ought not to be extended, in my view." -- Christopher Dodd, Oct 31, 2007.

Christopher Dodd wasn't even on my radar; and here he is scoring the first points in the debate. I gave it to him as the only Democrat to get it right. The republicans may also get it right, but they don't get the score. They're supposed to get this one right. (Score: Dodd, 1, everyone else, 0).
