Chris Dodd's Meager Home State Fundraising

Chris Dodd may officially represent Connecticut, but you'd never know it from his contribution records:

WASHINGTON -- Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd appears to have looked everywhere but his home state to fuel what pundits anticipate will be one of the most hotly contested races in the nation in 2010.

The five-term incumbent reported raising just $4,250 from five Connecticut residents during the first three months of the year while raking in $604,745 from nearly 400 individuals living outside the state.

Look for those out-of-state numbers to swell as panicked Dems desperately try to hand onto Dodd's seat.
