Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd gave up his hopeless campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination earlier this month.

But he’d still like some more of your money.

In an e-mail sent to supporters headlined ‘Retiring’ to get their attention, Dodd revealed that after some time off with his family from a grueling campaign that, he says, ‘changed the debate at home and abroad,’ he really isn’t contemplating retiring from the Senate. LOL

It seems he needs to ‘retire’ his campaign debt. He doesn’t reveal how big the leftover campaign financial burden is, but the attached form is equipped to take anything from $25 to $2,300. Dodd said he’s very busy right now restoring the Constitution, fighting ‘that terrible FISA bill’ and working to put another Democrat in the White House.

But he sure would appreciate some donations here.

Who wouldn’t actually?
