Will Teddy Endorse Dodd and Would It Produce a Dodd Boomlet?

    Marc Ambinder has an interesting item over at his blog, speculating on the possibility that Ted Kennedy might end up endorsing Chris Dodd.
    As we've said before, endorsements don't mean much but if Kennedy and other members of the family were willing to campaign for Dodd in Iowa and New Hampshire, he might get a little something going. As we noted earlier in the week, Dodd was outstanding in the debate this week (not that anyone in the press seemed to notice); he's run a decent campaign, and he's up today with two new ads in Iowa -- one that goes after Clinton and another after Edwards.
    Still, Dodd has a long way to go to get into the top three in Iowa -- which is where he'd have to be to survive into New Hampshire. But if he surges at all, the effect will be to divide further the anti-Clinton vote -- which would be good news for her.
