The Dodd campaign is out with a new ad that features Sen. Ted Kennedy.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut, once again has some high-powered help in his 2010 re-election bid. Dodd began airing a new television ad Sunday that features his long time friend, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts. "Quality health care as a fundamental right has been the cause of my life," Kennedy says in the 30-second TV spot. "And Chris Dodd has been my closest ally in this fight." Kennedy adds that "I believe that with Chris Dodd's leadership, our families will finally have accessible, affordable health care." The Connecticut Democrat has already aired an ad featuring President Obama praising his work on credit card reform legislation. The Kennedy ad is running state-wide on broadcast and cable outlets Dodd campaign manager Jay Howser told CNN. Howser said the campaign is spending at least $100,000 for the ad that is scheduled to run for at least a week. Kennedy, who is battling brain cancer, is the chairman of one of the congressional committees charged with crafting the Democrats' health care reform bill. Dodd has taken a leading role in championing the legislation in Kennedy's absence. Public polling now indicates that Dodd faces a difficult re-election in 2010.
