Former Sen. John Durkin (D-NH), the last Democrat to win a Senate election in New Hampshire, will reportedly endorse Chris Dodd.

Durkin was elected to one term in a special election in 1975, following a close, disputed result in the regular 1974 race, and was defeated in 1980 by Republican Warren Rudman. He endorsed Howard Dean in the 2004 race, then rescinded his endorsement after the "Dean Scream" speech and switched his support over to John Edwards just before the New Hampshire primary.
