No HELP For Dodd

The WTNH 10 o'clock news just reported that a Senate staffer has told the AP that Sen. Chris Dodd will not take over the chairmanship of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, instead remaining in his position at the head of the Banking Committee. I can't find a link to the story, but will post it when I find it.

Lucky us. I guess he figures there is too much healthcare stuff remaining to be screwed up, whereas there isn't much left to destroy on the banking side.

UPDATE: AP report here.
