The hardest thing about being anti-embargo is the company I keep. Christopher Dodd, erstwhile candidate for the Democratic nomination for president and a commie lover from way back, is calling for the end of the embargo. I didn't think there was a doubt where he stood. I'm actually surprised that he isn't calling for a free-trade pact with Fidel.
Previously the Dodd campaign had put out release on Dodd's support for removing restrictions on travel to Cuba. Typical B.S. statement topped off with this winner.

The Island of Cuba is in the throes of a transition to a post-Castro Cuba. A US policy of staying the course leaves us on the sides as the future of Cuba is being written. It is time to engage before it is too late to have a positive influence on the political landscape which is rapidly taking shape there. In a Dodd administration the United States will engage with the Cuban people in support of a peaceful transition to democracy."Throes of transition?" What transition? Nothing substantive has changed...nothing. And seriously what is the danger of being "on the sides" while the future of Cuba is written? It is one of the poorest countries in the hemisphere, what do we as a country lose in not dealing with Cuba during its "throes of transition?" Seriously, what candidate is going to say that it is not willing to "engage the Cuban people in support of a peaceful transition to democracy?" Can't it be said that is also an accurate description of what W. is trying to do for Cuba?
