Dodd was going to be dead meat come November - in a “blue state” he was losing big to three potential GOPers - so Dem leadership (and Obama’s phone call) pushed Dodd out, to avoid a primary and defeat. Once that became obvious, his big backers would not waste money on Dodd’s campaign.

Nice summation. Dodd was in deep doo-doo knowing he could not raise the $10Mill he needed to win. Looks like costly campaigns are biting back Dims...... one instance in which we should all be grateful campaigns are costly.

I noticed the original story at the above link has been “errored”. I guess to much info was getting out.
