Serious, the color from the table makes it look like one, at least in the still frame. Is that a beer in front of Dodd?

Serious, the color from the table makes it look like one, at least in the still frame.

Dodd says Foghorn Leg Iron (Sen. Robert Byrd) "would have been right during the Civil War." Since he was referring to a Klu Klux Klan kleagle, we all knew what he meant there...

He might decide that it's worthwhile to endorse one of the potential winners at that time. I think this is a far more likely scenario than for him to stay in through February 5th. Candidates show class when they realize that they've lost and they throw their support behind one of the more likely winners.

WRONG ANSWER.

He'll probably have the money, and that day is going to be absolutely huge and unpredictable. Unfortunately, Dodd seems to do best when he can actually meet voters. He won't be able to do that for Super Duper Tuesday. Dodd has no reason not to stay in until after the 5th.

With the front-loaded primary being what it is does CW hold that he will quite after Iowa or will he just stay until Feb 5 because it is right around the corner?
