Ads Classified: Now Dodd Joins the Fray

    Yet another second-tier Democratic candidate is on the air in Iowa. This time, it's Chris Dodd, with an approach similar to John Edwards, as he speaks out against the Iraq War.
    The problem for Dodd is that the ad, which just features himself talking, isn't all that memorable. And, this is ground already staked out more effectively by the Edwards campaign in its earlier ad.
    It's easy to be sympathetic with the plight of Dodd and the others in the second tier as they struggle for recognition. This time around, there are just too many candidates and too many heavyweights for anyone already not established to make a move.
