30-year Senate veteran [[Chris Dodd]] was ranked the most vulnerable Senator in the 2010 election cycle by National Journal. He has announced he will not seek a sixth term. Dodd’s approval ratings had plummeted after his failed presidential campaign in 2008, his controversial mortgage deal from Countrywide, and revelations about the $165 million bonuses for AIG executives that he attached in an amendment to the economic stimulus package, despite receiving federal [[bailout]] money. State Attorney General [[Richard Blumenthal]] is seeking the Democratic nomination, increasing Democrats' chances of holding the seat. However, his poll numbers dropped after a [[New York Times]] report revealed that he exaggerated his military record.
