Political insiders place Chris Dodd in the second tier of Democratic presidential hopefuls. But in his new TV commercial, the Connecticut senator says it's the front-runners that are following his lead.
Dodd's new spot calls out Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama by name, saying that both had come around to support an Iraq funding amendment co-sponsored by Chris Dodd. Take a look:
AP reports that the spot will run in New Hampshire and Iowa, costing the Dodd camp about $120,000 in television time.
"Read to Lead" is actually a follow-up to an earlier ad Dodd ran two weeks ago. In that one, titled "Half Measures Won't Stop This President," Dodd stands in one of the D.C. buildings overlooking the White House and challenged his rivals to join his stance on the war. "It worked," Dodd stresses in the new commercial.

2. Dodd is ready to lead now ? What a joke. So he is saying that he hasnt been all along. Well I live in CT for over 40 years and I can not think of one thing Dodd has done for our state or our Country. He has been sitting in office for 25+ years and the only thing he has been doing is fattening his wallet.Him and everyone like him is the reason we need term limits on all of goverment.They are the reason our country does not change with the times.Their one way thinking is what is ruining our great country. Dodd your a joke !

3. I get the impression Dodd does his homework. Its not just talking points for him, he shows a depth of understanding that is becoming rare in these races.

4. I AGREE WITH MR. DODD. HE SHOULD DEFINITELY LEAD. HE SHOULD LEAD OUT OF CONGRESS AND TAKE THE MAJORITY OF THOSE OLD PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOTTEN FAT OFF THE BACKS OF THE AMERICAN WORKERS.

6. I was impressed with Seanator Dodd and I might vote for him if he becomes a front runner. I thought he and Hilary did the best in the debate. I wasn't even considering him until I saw the debate.
