THE HILL: Reinventing Sen. Chris Dodd:

The Chris Dodd reclamation project is in full swing, but even Dodd admits it?s an iffy proposition. Facing all-time low approval ratings as he heads into the 2010 election, Sen. Dodd (D-Conn.) is reinventing himself to the voters he?s represented for almost 30 years.

The old Chris Dodd would have been on all the cable news and Sunday morning talk shows and shaking hands at glitzy D.C. events. The new Chris Dodd is doing more local events, keeping a low national profile and hoping that he has enough time to recover before Election Day. But he also candidly admits it could be too little, too late. He acknowledges he?s been beaten down pretty hard, and while others say the party is rallying around him, Dodd said he hasn?t made significant progress yet with Connecticut?s voters.

I hope a lot of Connecticut “Tea Party” folks start showing up at those local events.
