    He said that the war in Iraq is the big issue for his campaign and that it's more important than party politics.

    "This is not a Democrat versus Republican, Independent versus conservative or liberal. The American people, by and large, across political parties believe a change in policy in Iraq is absolutely essential at this juncture and that we can't continue forward here," Dodd said.

    Dodd also noted that former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., had low poll numbers early in their presidential bids.
