Chris Dodd’s days may be numbered. That is, if Peter Schiff and legions of his supporters have anything to say about it.

Peter Schiff has been contemplating a run for Dodd’s seat in the U.S. Senate representing Connecticut. Dodd is up for re-election in 2010 and is on shaky ground after his unwavering support of establishment DC politics.

Peter Schiff has become known (justifiably) as the guy who predicted the economic crisis. His assertions were mocked and ridiculed back in 2005/2006 when he had the audacity to suggest that the U.S. housing market was ready for a collapse.

Now that he’s been proven right people have been clamoring for him to run against Senator Dodd. He’s taken the first step toward that end by forming an exploratory committee in order to gauge the true interest in his potential campaign. That interest will be determined by the number of digits following the dollar signs donated to his exploratory committee. Yes, that means you need to part ways with some money if you want Schiff to run for office. It is the brutal truth that it takes money to win, especially in such a high profile election.

[UPDATE  (by Mike Miller): If you donate to Peter Schiff's exploratory committee, and it turns out that he does not run for office, your donation will be returned to you.]

The Peter Schiff money bomb has been set for August 7th, 2009. The website is Schiffathon.com. The details from the site:

This will be a week long promotion to gain support. On August 1st 2009 RevolutionBroadcasting.com will be hosting a Jerry Lewis style telethon that will feature many great guests well known to the patriot movement. The Schiffathon leads up to the official moneybomb on August 7th 2009, please pledge to show your support for Peter Schiff and his bid for US Senate against Christopher Dodd in 2010.

So please prepare yourself to donate on August 7th if you’d like to have a chance at getting a friend of Ron Paul (politically and personally) into the Senate. For an excellent Peter Schiff video check out this one promoting the money bomb.
