"Despite Chris Dodd’s recent attempt to reinvent himself as a populist, he cannot escape his cozy relationship with the financial industry that has bankrolled his campaigns with nearly $14 million during his more than quarter century in Congress. Judging by his anemic approval numbers at home, voters in Connecticut are not buying Dodd’s empty rhetoric, and his ties to the special interests will play a major role in his uphill re-election bid." - Amber Wilkerson Marchand, NRSC Spokeswoman
