Dodd may drop out

Sen. Chris Dodd, who moved his family to Iowa in an effort to make a strong showing in the caucus, has told Fox News that he would be “going to Hartford tomorrow” if he doesn’t finish stronger than fourth place tonight, my colleague Martin Kady II reports.

Dodd has had a successful fundraising run thanks to his chairmanship of the Senate Banking Committee, which has opened the door to millions in contributions from the financial services industry, but he has been unable to crack into the upper tier among Democratic candidates.

It’s not clear yet who Dodd will endorse if he drops out.

11. Would be a loss in Senate

He does a decent job on the Senate Banking Committee. I think he serves better there than he would in the Executive.
