The Asterisk Candidate

Chris Dodd got an 1,100-word profile in the WaPo today. Dodd started out as the anti-war candidate -- even getting a little attention for talks with Unity '08. (Although why we would want to abandon our fairly broken two-party system for a one-party system, I cannot fathom.) But now, all of the candidates are firmly against the war (even the much-criticized Hillary) and Dodd is still just another asterisk in the polls. He remains a hugely popular senator in his home state of Connecticut, so at least he has job security.
