Chris Dodd for President

"Spend an hour with Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, and you'll tour the world," opines the Des Moines Register. "In his meeting with the Register's editorial board on Thursday, he mentioned 22 nations - about half in the Middle East, a half dozen in Latin America, plus China, France and Iceland thrown in for good measure."
