The Connecticut Post’s “Street Talk” feature in today’s paper (sorry, no link) asks locals for their reaction to Chris Dodd’s presidential bid. Remember: he’s been a Connecticut senator since 1980, and was a House member for the three terms prior. Here’s what Dodd’s six interviewed constituents had to say:

Nicole Clark of Fairfield: “Who’s he? Frankly, I’m more excited about Hillary Clinton.”
Ellen O’Connor of Easton: “I think it’s great. He’s done a great job, and I think he’d be a good presidential candidate.”
Suzanne Tucci of Fairfield: “I would not vote for him, He just doesn’t appeal to me.”
Patrick Matthews of Fairfield: “I don’t know enough about him. That’s the problem. He doesn’t have a high enough profile.”
Janiret Graham of Bridgeport: “I don’t think he’s going to make it. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are far more popular.”
Kara Winsch of Fairfield: “I don’t know that much about him. I didn’t hear about him until just this year.”
