Dodd running for Pres?


From washingtonnote via mydd.com ->

On top of that, Senator Chris Dodd "unofficially" conveyed his interest in running for the presidency in 2008. He said this pretty directly to Terry McAuliffe who was there -- but then Dodd's press secretary had a near stroke. By the time official sounding remarks were made, Margaret Carlson introduced Dodd as the Senator who might or might not be running.

2. I agree with Roland
Why? He's an O.K. senator (I'm in Connecticut), but he's got baggage from his days heading the DNC. Plus his accent and personality don't lend themselves to a nationwide campaign.
