"Contrast Dodd's leadership and conviction on this matter with the complete passivity and invisibility of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama."

Okay. Then contrast Dodd to Clinton and Obama on this new LA Times/Bloomberg poll (PDF), asking Democrats who are registered and plan to vote in the primary how they'd vote if the primary were held today:

Hillary Clinton 48%
Barack Obama 17
John Edwards 13
Bill Richardson 2
Joe Biden 2
Dennis Kucinich 1
Someone else 2
Don’t know 15

- Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel each got less than 0.5%.
