Chris Dodd tells the Hartford Courant that he's being treated during the recess for "early-stage prostate cancer," and that he'll return to the campaign trail soon thereafter. He'll discuss it at a news conference this afternoon.
A health story like this, for a senator in a tough race who's had nudges to resign, instantly raises the question of whether he'll really return to office -- and Dodd advisor Jim Jordan offered an instant, forceful answer:
"The condition was caught extremely early; the procedure will be as routine as it can be; he’ll be down, out of commission for just two or three weeks; his health is otherwise superb; this in no way whatsoever affects his re-election plans," he wrote in an email.
