From CBSNews:
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is prepared to announce his bid for retiring Sen. Chris Dodd’s seat, according to reports, just hours after Dodd formally says he will not seek re-election this year. Blumenthal’s swift announcement signals his strong positioning as a Democratic candidate but also the weakness Republicans will likely try to exploit — his relationship with the beleaguered Dodd.
Blumenthal, who has served as attorney general since 1990, is expected to announce at 2:30 p.m. ET today that he will run for Dodd’s Senate seat. Dodd will formally announce his retirement at Noon
