Chris Dodd Retires, Blumenthal In

Good news for Democrats: Sen. Chris Dodd will not seek another term. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal will run in the Senate primary. Blumenthal has a 78 percent approval rating in the state. It is no secret Republicans were looking to puick off Dodd's seat. Blumenthal makes that task extremely difficult.

Public Policy shows that Blumenthal even polls well with Republicans.

Democrats - 71 percent

Independents - 60 percent

Republicans 37/35 margin
