2008 Race Gains Another Contender

Chris Dodd is thinking about running. And why not? The more the merrier.

More seriously, Chris Dodd's chances of getting elected President are only slightly better than those of his home-state colleague, Joe Lieberman. But there's not likely to be any better opportunity, and it won't cost him his Senate seat. The only effect I can imagine on the race at this point is that it will tend to divide the 'anti-Hillary liberal vote' a little more. I think it's unclear though, just how much of that there is.

Back to the top.
