November 22, 2005 Dodd Pondering a Bid in 2008 At a movie night for political and media insiders last night, Steve Clemons says Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) "unofficially conveyed his interest in running for the presidency in 2008." Of course this shouldn't be too much of surprise since Dodd almost ran last time and a possible White House bid was a topic of discussion after last year's elections.
