With Sen. Chris Dodd delivering his valedictory address in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, can the 2012 U.S. Senate race be far off?
Many political insiders believe that Republican Linda McMahon will run for Senate again - partly because she was recently running television, radio, and newspaper advertisements that wished voters a Happy Thanksgiving.
"I didn't win the election, but to everyone whose hand I shook, who touched my heart, and who challenged my thinking throughout the campaign, I wanted to say, thank you," McMahon said in her commercial.
It was the first time in recent memory that any Connecticut political candidate spent money on TV commercials after losing on election day.
