Sen. Dodd not running for re-election!

[HK in AK]

WASHINGTON – Democratic officials tell The Associated Press that Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd won't seek re-election this fall.

The five-term Democrat is expected to make an announcement Wednesday. The officials who disclosed his plans would speak only on condition of anonymity ahead of the announcement.

Dodd is facing troubling poll numbers and his popularity has dropped since his 2008 failed run for president.

Word of his retirement comes hours after North Dakota Democrat Byron Dorgan announced he will not seek re-election.

So what, the Dems will find some corrupt, in-the-pocket of Banking/Insurance industry replacement to replace the inept, corrupt, and easily bought Chris Dodd.

Even money that fat f**k will not even return to CT but stay around DC and lobby for a gazillion $$$.
