WASHINGTON -- Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut plans to endorse former presidential rival Barack Obama.
Dodd will endorse his colleague, a senator from Illinois, in Cleveland on Tuesday, according to a Democratic official close to Dodd who requested anonymity because no formal announcement had been made.
Dodd's support, coupled with his liberal credentials, could provide a boost for Obama as major contests near in big states such as Ohio and Texas on March 4. Obama has won some key Democratic endorsements in recent weeks, including Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, a close friend of Dodd.
Yes, Dodd is a very close friend of Ted Kennedy.
Think back to the infamous "waitress sandwich" that he and Teddy engaged in "at La Brasserie in 1985, while their dates were in the bathroom."
Will Dodd's endorsement matter?
It might help Hillary. Some women might not appreciate the old boys' club rallying behind Obama.
