Chris Dodd: Health Care 'Hanging By A Thread' (VIDEO)

In an interview Monday with CNBC, retiring Sen. Chris Dodd said health care reform "is hanging by a thread."

The Connecticut senator was stating the obvious -- that one or two votes could kill the legislation. He named Sens. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) as three reform supporters who could end up voting against the bill. And he said more progressive Democrats are also concerned by what has been cut from the legislation.

"Everyone feels, I guess, to some degree who have been for this, that they would have liked something different, and that's not uncommon when you're considering an issue of this magnitude," Dodd said.
