Former Democratic presidential candidate Senator Chris Dodd endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president, calling on fellow Democrats "to come together."

As one of the most respected Senators in the Democratic party this is a worthy endorsement and another indicator it's time for Hillary to step back.

At a campaign event in Cleveland, Ohio, Dodd warned that a divisive campaign could damage the party.

"With Clinton on the attack, a recognized leader on foreign and military affairs is vouching for Obama's readiness," the Dodd adviser said.

Dodd is a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.

It's time for Hillary to join Senator Dodd in her endorsement.
