Dodd is out!

According to the WaPo, Chris Dodd will announce today he's ging to stop seeking reelection. (Read the poll numbers and he can't win.)

It's a pretty big fall for someone who was running for President(/running for Vice President) just two years ago.

On the other hand, you have to give him some good Democrat points for stepping aside.

(And, don't worry. With his donors, Dodd will land on his feet.)

Later: Conn. AG Richard Blumenthal jumps in. According to those who know, he's a lock to win and keep the seat Dem.
