Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Byron Dorgon (D-ND) both announced their retirement this week. While some are trying to paint this as a bad thing for Democrats I don't see quite how it is. First off Dodd Stepping down all but assures that Democrats will retain his seat, something that seemed unlikely before. Dorgan Retirement makes a favored seat a tossup. If it ends upas a battle between two no names, the out come will be unpredictable.
