By: E&P Staff Barack Obama won the Connecticut primary recently and this probably made an impression on Sen. Chris Dodd, who will now endorse him, the Hartford Courant reports today.
Its story leads: "After a prolonged silence through most of the primary season, Sen. Christopher J. Dodd is rejoining the presidential race on somebody else's team ? Sen. Barack Obama's.
"The Connecticut senator, whose own presidential campaign failed to draw enough attention to propel him past the first contest in Iowa, is expected to announce his endorsement of Obama this morning, according to a Democratic official close to Dodd. He'll then campaign with Obama in Ohio.
"Obama's campaign hopes that the March 4 primaries in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island will be the victory that clinches the Democratic nomination for him. When he faces Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in another debate tonight ? the last before these pending primaries ? he'll do it with Dodd in his corner."
