Dodd to Announce Retirement

According to the Washington Post, Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) will announce his retirement from the Senate tomorrow:

Word of Dodd’s retirement plans comes after months of speculation about his political future, his faltering poll numbers and a growing sense among the Democratic establishment that he could not win a sixth term in the Senate.

After 20 years in the Senate it’s about time!  Sadly, Dodd’s departure will likely put his solid blue district in safe Democrat hands. But we can still celebrate the demise of a corrupt Democratic dinosaur, and who knows? we might just have a chance.
