Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut, one of the party's former presidential contenders, is expected to endorse Obama this morning.
He's a superdelegate and also a party regular, insider, part of the establishment -- a sign of Clinton's eroding status. AP:
"Obama and rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had been vying for Dodd's support since he exited the presidential race after a poor showing in the Iowa caucus last month."
And: "Dodd also could help Obama with Hispanic voters. A fluent Spanish speaker, Dodd served in the Peace Corps in a rural village in Dominican Republic from 1966-68 and has had a strong interest in Latin American affairs throughout his career."
But, it's still just an endorsement. How many working stiffs in Chillicothe and Dayton are going to vote for Obama because of Chris Dodd?
