Chris Dodd is going to support Lamont!

[kentuck]

Lieberman's best buddy in his state. The only people left to support Lieberman are Republicans.

[catbert836]

1. Will he talk to Lieberman

about dropping out of the race?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. he'll never admit it, but I am sure that will happen.

[leveymg]

4. I'm sure Joe's going to be taken out to lunch a lot this week.

If he drops out quickly, no real grudges.

Except about that Iraq thing. :grr: :nuke:

[NNN0LHI]

12. I bet he is "having lunch" with some gray beards as I write this post n/t

[LSK]

3. Kick Ass!!!!!!

Lieberman will probably drop out in a few weeks.

He has no support.

[wordpix2]

7. "he has no support:" Joe probably has lots of it, among Repugs

[LSK]

11. not many Repugs in Conn

[Norquist Nemesis]

5. Well put Sen. Dodd: "The message is Change" n/t

[chaumont58]

6. The Democratic establishment has to support Lamont

What are they going to do? Tell the CT Democratic primary voters they don't count?

[wordpix2]

8. right, Dem leaders can only tell CT voters they don't count if

those "leaders" are willing to go off the cliff for Joe, themselves.

[theboss]

9. Every elected Dem has to do this

None of them want the Party apparatus to turn on them after a primary victory. The precedent would be nightmarish.

I still think Lieberman is going to win in the general.

[wordpix2]

14. "I still think Lieberman is going to win in the general"---do not underest

imate Ned. He came from way behind in 6 months and has a lot of support in CT.

Lieberman might win the Repug votes---it will be a close election if Joe stays in.

[NNN0LHI]

19. Who did you think was going to win the primary 2 months ago? n/t

[theboss]

27. Lieberman...but I did think he was vulnerable

And this proves that if all the progressive media and progressive activists unite and focus all their energies on one primary, they can win. It's impressive.

But I'm not sure those same forces and tip a three way general election.

And I'm certainly not sure that it's the best use of resources.

[KaptBunnyPants]

31. I don't know, his strengths were his seniority, incumbancy, and the Party

apparatus. Without the endorsements, money, and machinery of the Democratic Party, that may be all she wrote for Ol' Joe.

[gully]

33. It's what we do as "Democrats" we are supposed to unite behind the peoples

choice. I don't get the shock.

[insane_cratic_gal]

10. Wonder Why the DSCC is still supporting LowJoe?

http://www.dscc.org/2006races/ct/

they have Lamont on the cover stating he won but haven't updated the 2006 races with Lamont's name

16. I wrote them a nice little email

I was not rude but I might of mentioned how the "left Fringe" party would like to see the support for Lamont reflected for the 2006 Primary, unless of course Senator Schumer didn't want to support the Duly Elected Democratic Primary winner?

[sabbat hunter]

17. give them time

to update the website.

[obreaslan]

22. Eh-hem...Ask and ye shall receive....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2767698

Good for them. :)

[insane_cratic_gal]

26. Ya but look under 2006 races for CT

they've yet to update it as of noon est this morning.. 12 hrs later after a great victory and still LowJoe is the poster boy for the CT race.

[fishwax]

29. perhaps they haven't paid their bill and so they can't update the page

:shrug: :rofl:

Anyway, Reid and Schumer released a statement today saying that the DSCC fully supported Lamont.

[LSK]

15. Dodd says he was with Joe last night

He regrets his decision to run as an indy.

[spooky3]

23. which he?

[LSK]

24. Dodd

[Avalux]

18. Dodd on CSPAN with Lamont - in full support.

Good show of unity. Sorry Joe! :D

[DinahMoeHum]

20. Thank you, Senator Dodd.

:kick:

[saltpoint]

21. Dodd's making a smart move, IMO. Democrats nationwide know

who won this primary.

DEMOCRAT Ned Lamont won it.

Good for Chris Dodd.

[AlCzervik]

25. does anyone know how Joenertia polled among the independents?

[otohara]

28. and Salazar

he's gonna stick out like a sore thumb! Good, I hope it comes back to bite him in the butt!

Gawd, 6 years is a long time.

[Vidar]

30. As he should.

[caligirl]

32. they are updaing it now, or 'very shorly'., 11am PT
