Meanwhile, Senate Banking Committee chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and former Senate Budget Committee chairman Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) said in a statement yesterday that Bernanke is the right person to help guide the economy back from the worst recession since the 1930s.. Two other Democrats who had remained quiet about their intentions, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, and the No. 2 Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, said yesterday that they will support him.
