Senator Stays Put | Dodd Declines Presidential Run

Today, Senator Dodd decided to forego entering the already crowded Democratic presidential primary race, saying he'd rather focus on his work in the Senate. With Dodd's withdrawal, the only three remaining people whose names are still being tossed around for a possible run are Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, former NATO Supreme Commander Wesley Clark and former Senator Gary Hart. With fundraising time quickly evaporating, any additional candidates will have to make their decisions within a shortened timeframe, in order to avoid the catch-22 stigma of appearing too late to be elected, which reduces a donor's willingness to contribute, which exacerbates the original problem.
