I am usually adverse to authoring threads,
but in this case -> economic analyst, CEO, commentator...Mr Peter Schiff
announced he is challenging the CT Senate seat held by Sen Chris Dodd.

Dear Friends,
www.schiffforsenate.com.
As you may know, I have decided to run for U.S. Senate from my home state of Connecticut....
Make no mistake about it, winning a U.S. senate seat will not be easy. First, I need to get through a highly contested Republican primary featuring
some very well-funded and high-profile opponents. Then, I need to defeat a five-term incumbent Democrat who chairs the Senate Banking Committee.
Though Chris Dodd is unpopular now, he has a lot of powerful friends, including President Obama...
...these are unique times, and politics-as-usual may no longer secure the re-election of a skilled politician. Though Dodd will try to turn my lack of
political experience into a liability, it is much more likely to be an asset in the current climate. Conversely, Dodd's lack of private sector
experience raises questions about his ability [to] lead this country out of an economic crisis, especially one that he and his buddies in Washington
created.
Thank you for your time and for sharing this message with your friends and relatives. I'll see you on the campaign trail.
Regards,
Peter Schiff

I'm definitely not a Dodd fan with his inability to produce his "Countrywide" mortgage documents following the national mortgage fiasco. How is
that allowed to go on? I don't know much about Schiff but I've seen his commentary on MSNBC and he tends to rock the MSM boat. He seems a straight
shooter but who knows for sure. What I do know is Dodd is a problem for the country and tipping his apple-cart can't be a bad thing.

side bar to Hemisphere:
Dodd, is lately making his presence known ~re; health care/insurance reform~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The foremost reason for this BUMP, is that the small community of support for 'Sound Fiscal & Financial responsibilty' is growing...
ran across this endorsement just this morning , Thur 12 Nov '09
+ Sound Money Candidates Running For Congress +
Inquiring minds might be interested in sound money candidates running for office. Here is the list that I am aware of.
Ron Paul - Texas District 14: Ron Paul For Congress
Jake Towne - Pennsylvania District 15 - Towne For Congress
John Dennis - California District 8 - John Dennis For Congress, Defeat Pelosi
Mike Vasovski - South Carolina District 3 - Mike Vasovski For Congress - Sound Money Constitutional Government
Rand Paul - Kentucky Senate: Rand Paul for Senate
Peter Schiff - Schiff for Senate
()I endorse all the above candidates for office.
Mike "Mish" Shedlock

So Do I 'Mish'...So Do I.
Too bad i vote in District #1 in SC... and candidate Mike Vasovski is running in SC District #3

since Schiffs' campaign has no news releases...
We'll need to read his articles, essays... the latest which shows how keen his insight is:
++ U.S. Job Losses Demystified++ (77 comments)
by: Peter Schiff November 15, 2009 | about: SPY
++ As the unemployment rate crossed the double digit barrier for the first time since Michael Jackson learned to moonwalk, President Obama
announced that he will convene a “jobs summit” to finally bring the problem under control. Using all the analytic skill that his administration
can muster, the President is determined to figure out why so many people are losing their jobs and then formulate a solution.
sounds like another example of 'policy by Committee' leadership.
That's a relief; for a while there, I thought we were in real trouble! In fact, the absolute last thing our economy needs is more federal
government interference
Now , below is an example of a government statistic created & intended to portray a rosy & desired picture...But is actually backfiring on the
government GDP analysts
However, the flaw in GDP calculation allows the output of those foreign workers to be included in our domestic tally. Since we count the output
but not the worker responsible for it, government statisticians attribute the gains to rising labor productivity. To them, it looks like companies are
producing more goods with fewer workers.

since there is little 'campaign' news, it would be informative to look into candidate Schiffs' inner workings/mindset
