Just one more person that argued my point...

.. that Dodd announcing his upcoming 'retirement' is not a good thing

One of Dodd's big pushes was to overhaul the financial industry, and with nothing to lose, it looks like he's going all out to make it happen.

As Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) winds down his 30-year run in the Senate, his top remaining priority -- a landmark piece of legislation that could shape his legacy -- is an effort to enact the greatest overhaul of the nation's financial regulatory system since the Great Depression. 

 Lawmakers, financial industry representatives, consumer advocates and other observers offered varying predictions Wednesday about how Dodd's pending retirement might influence his approach as he shepherds the reform bill through the Senate. But most agreed that Dodd's desire to leave behind meaningful changes, coupled with the freedom from a grueling and uncertain reelection campaign, bodes well for the prospect that a bipartisan bill could emerge from the Senate.

First off we know what "bipartisan" means for democrats.. and with nothing to hold him back, there's no way that he's not going to ramrod this through Congress as his "last meaningful" act... 

So are we still glad to see Dodd retiring?
