Daily Iowa Insider: Dodd out?

Could Chris Dodd be thinking of dropping out of the race?  If he does, he may thank those that are urging him to do it.  In fact, there are rumblings in Washington that Chris Dodd, who has generated momentum with his netroots following, may challenge Harry Reid for his Senate Majority Leader spot:

As the political season reaches its Iowa caucus climax, momentum isbuilding for Sen. Chris Dodd to parlay his presidential campaign into abid to challenge Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, for Majority Leader.

Almost all of the support for this effort now comes from thenetroots, much of which favors such a move. But talk of Dodd making arun at the post has slowly crept into the corners of Capitol Hill aswell. And in light of the Connecticut Democrat's successful filibuster threatthis week over granting immunity to telecommunications firms thatconducted warrantless surveillance, some in the progressive communitysee the framework for a potential shakeup.

Lastly, with Hillary's lead evaporating in California, many are wondering whether Bill Clinton's latest television attack on Barack Obama was out of mere desperation.

It's January 19th.  The Iowa Caucus, the one we have all been waiting for, is two weeks from tomorrow.
