Asked what he makes of Tuesday night’s political news, former Carter pollster Pat Caddell tells NRO that the evening was “stunning.”

He suggests that the news “could open the floodgates.”

On Dodd, Caddell surmises: “Given his health problems, and with two young daughters, Dodd may gave succumbed to the pressure of Democratic leaders to clear the way for a more popular candidate, such as the state’s attorney general, having spent millons and not moved his poll standings.”
