Can Dodd Be Pushed Aside?
Posted by admin, under PoliticalDevastating poll numbers this morning should increase the pressure on Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) to consider retirement so a safe Democratic seat doesn't turn into a Republican one.
Ben Smith says that "at some point -- not immediately, but pretty soon -- DSCC chairman Bob Menendez and the White House will have to consider trying to push Dodd aside, or perhaps offer him a high-profile appointment (Ambassador to Mexico?), in order to run the state's popular Attorney General, Richard Blumenthal, for the seat."
With the Hartford Courant reporting that former Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) has taken himself out of the running to head the Peace Corps, perhaps that would interest former Peace Corps volunteer Dodd?
