Dodd For Senate Majority Leader?



Clearly Chris Dodd is a good man, but his candidacy for the White House is going nowhere. Perhaps it is time to sweeten the pot and offer him something else -- somewhere that he could be useful to the country and his party -- in order to oil the wheels from his transition from candidate to legislative leader. From HuffingtonPost:


"As the political season reaches its Iowa caucus climax, momentum is building for Sen. Chris Dodd to parlay his presidential campaign into a bid to challenge Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, for Majority Leader. Almost all of the support for this effort now comes from the netroots, much of which favors such a move. But talk of Dodd making a run at the post has slowly crept into the corners of Capitol Hill as well. And in light of the Connecticut Democrat's successful filibuster threat this week over granting immunity to telecommunications firms that conducted warrantless surveillance, some in the progressive community see the framework for a potential shakeup."
