 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd
of Connecticut abandoned his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday after a poor showing in Iowa's precinct caucuses. ``Tonight I am withdrawing from the presidential race but let me assure you, we are not ending this race with our heads hanging but with our heads held high,'' Dodd told about 100 supporters here.
``I am not going anywhere,'' he added, to loud cheers. ``I will be fighting for the United States.''
Dodd was never able to break from the pack of Democratic contenders despite his long and distinguished Senate career. He won just 0.02 percent of the state's caucus-goers.
