Dodd-mentum!

That other Senator from Connecticut is finally starting to gain some traction in his Presidential campaign. And he’s doing it the old-fashioned way: taking gutsy (but correct) positions, at the right time, for the right reasons.

Dodd may not ultimately have the star power to win the nomination. But at the moment, he’s pushing Democratic candidates (and the political debate as a whole) in the right direction, and for that alone he deserves accolades.
