On the surface, Dodd not running sounds like good news but he was beatable. In the Blue state of CT, they’ll now have another Dem running who may not be so easy to beat. Am I wrong here?

Sounds like a political move. Quit before you get trounced. Typical move by cowards. No matter, trash is trash and should go to the nearest landfill. And both of these trash coward Senators, Dodd and Dorgan qualify for such a destination.
