I Lived in Connecticut for 40 years
Chris Dodd was almost always a solid vote for the Ted Kennedy Liberal wing of the Democratic party, hell they dogged DC together in their single years. Buddies and legislative allies.
But;
You could choose those that stood back, and waited until history was on their side before they moved bold agendas forward. You could hope that their theories of change were correct.
does not describe a senator who after 18 years was relatively unknown out side the Nutmeg State and D.C. at the beginning of his run. A task that was daunting if literally not impossible before it began.

Dodd's Showing In Polls Laughable
At Least Comedians Have Noticed It
By DAVID LIGHTMAN
Washington Bureau Chief
January 31 2007
WASHINGTON -- When pollster John Zogby asked a group of 339 likely Democratic voters earlier this month whom they wanted for president in 2008, one or two mentioned Connecticut's senior senator.
One or 2 percent mentioned Christopher Dodd?
No. One or two people, Zogby said.
"I'm competing with the margin of error in most polls," Chris Dodd grinned as he described his underdog status recently to a New Hampshire audience.
He should be so lucky. The margin of error was 5.4 percentage points.
In the Zogby America poll, Dodd registered as a hyphen - a placeholder indicating he polled at less than 1 percent.
Even 2004 candidate Joe Lieberman, who is not running this year, got 2 percent of likely voters saying they favored him.
Of course, that survey was taken the week before Jan. 11, when Dodd formally announced his intention to run. Surely he'd get a boost from his national shout-out on "Imus in the Morning" and his round of national network interviews.
Yup. He has soared to 1 percent, according to the Time Poll, the Opinion Research Corporation/CNN poll and Gallup. The ABC News/Washington Post survey, alas, still only rates him a hyphen.
That's because what you've seen during the campaign, laudible as it is, does not exactly describe his Senate career. I see what you see in him, he is a great Senator here,as far as it goes, here.
This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
