In an op-ed published yesterday, Sen. Chris Dodd reversed his position on gay marriage. From his website:

"I believe that, when my daughters grow up, barriers to marriage equality for same-sex couples will seem as archaic, and as unfair, as the laws we once had against inter-racial marriage. And I want them to know that, even if he was a little late, their dad came down on the right side of history."

The Connecticut Democrat is up for re-election in 2010 and has seen his poll numbers take a serious dive in the past months.
