Edwards Runs Against the Senate - washingtonpost.com's Politics Blog
Excerpt:
"That didn't sit well with Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), who released a statement late last week insisting that Edwards should have stayed in the Senate and fought the president's plan rather than retiring after a single term in 2004.
"We wish that Senator Edwards was still in the Senate for this important fight," said Dodd spokeswoman Christy Setzer. "If we can't get his vote in the Senate, of course we would welcome Senator Edwards's support for Senator Dodd's plan...rather than the incremental, 18-month approach he has proposed."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sounded a similar note, telling The Hill newspaper that he liked Edwards "but he's not in the Senate; I am. ... He doesn't have to cast votes here in the Senate; we do.""
