Endorsement Could Jump Start Dodd’s Campaign

The AP's Ron Fournier reminds us that the endorsement by the International Association of Fire Fighters turned around Sen. John Kerry's all-but-dead presidential campaign in the fall of 2003.

Likewise, this week's IAFF endorsement of Sen. Christopher Dodd could be the spark that he needs to push into the top tier of candidates.

"Firefighters tend to be leaders in their communities who are more respected than business, political, media elite -- the type of people who can persuade neighbors and friends to show up at a caucus site on a cold winter night in Iowa."
